We’re thrilled to welcome you to the 13th Annual Women’s Heart Symposium, taking place Saturday, February 7, 2026 at the iconic Hotel Casa del Mar in Santa Monica, with a live virtual option available.

This one-day experience brings together leading cardiologists, researchers, and advocates for an inspiring deep dive into women’s cardiovascular health. From prevention and risk reduction to lifestyle strategies and cutting-edge medical advances, this is where science meets real-world impact.

Expect a full day of insight and connection, featuring expert talks, dynamic panel discussions, curated gifts, delicious food, and plenty of opportunities to engage with fellow attendees.

This year’s program goes deeper than ever. Our renowned speakers and panelists will explore the emerging science behind environmental toxins and the heart, unpacking topics like microplastics, “forever chemicals” (PFAS), wildfire smoke and contaminants, and what the latest research reveals about their effects on women’s cardiovascular health.

The day begins with a buffet breakfast and morning of compelling presentations, followed by interactive panel discussions after a buffet lunch, designed to spark conversation, challenge assumptions, and leave you with knowledge you can put into practice.

Whether you attend in person or online, join us for a powerful day of learning, community, and momentum toward better heart health for women.

1. Apply emerging research on various environmental toxins (PFAS, Wildfire Smoke & Ash, Endocrine Disruptors, and Microplastics) to inform patient care.
2. Factor buzzwords and prevailing trends on social media regarding various environmental toxins (PFAS, Wildfire Smoke & Ash, Endocrine Disruptors, and Microplastics) into patient care to dispel myths and counter misinformation to optimize outcomes through an evidence based approach.
3. Write an appropriate treatment plan based on patient exposure to various environmental toxins (PFAS, Wildfire Smoke & Ash, Endocrine Disruptors, and Microplastics)
