  "account": "The St. Boniface Hospital Foundation has appointed Dr. Shelley Zieroth as the new clinical research chair in women's heart health, a position aimed at advancing cardiac outcomes for women in Manitoba and beyond. Zieroth, a long-time clinician-scientist at the St. Boniface Hospital, described her mission as \"a promise that we will do better for women's hearts.\" Her research focus includes heart failure and cardio-kidney-metabolic interactions, and she aims to bridge the gap between bedside care, clinical trials, and translational science. Zieroth highlighted the need to change the current clinical research focus, which has predominantly been on men, and shift the attention to women's hearts, considering both physiology and care delivery. The new chair position comes with research funding, which Zieroth hopes to use to establish a women's heart care clinic and research initiative at the hospital, fostering equity in healthcare. The hospital's CEO, Nicole Aminot, emphasized that women often experience different heart attack symptoms than men and stressed the importance of recognizing these differences in a scientific context.",
