TEDxWomen -- Noel Bairey Merz with Barbra Streisand

Dr. Noel Bairey Merz sheds light on the facts and myths related to heart disease, a disease often seen as a "man's disease," but one that kills more women per year at all ages than breast cancer. She stresses the importance of spreading awareness about heart disease and pleads everyone to have a more personal relationship with your heart.

TEDxWomen was curated and produced by The Paley Center for Media. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
