Abstract	Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women globally, yet awareness of risk factors and preventive measures remains suboptimal. This literature review synthesizes evidence on the role of pharmacists in preventing and managing heart disease in women through education, counseling, and medication management. While pharmacist-led interventions have shown promise in improving adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors and cardiovascular medications, barriers such as time constraints, limited resources, and inadequate reimbursement hinder their full potential. This review critically evaluates the existing evidence, identifies gaps in the literature, and proposes strategies to optimize pharmacist-led interventions. By addressing these challenges, pharmacists can play a pivotal role in reducing the burden of heart disease among women, particularly in high-income and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
