He starts by saying Go Red for Women claimed that _heart disease_ kills more women than men - they haven't made that claim.
He links a chart that talks about CVD, but uses that to talk about misleading stats for heart disease. CVD includes stroke, and stroke kills more women than men.
He also says (and this is transparently bullshit)
> In what can only be described as a landslide victory for the matriarchy, men turning 35 are half as likely to make it to 45 as their female counterparts. The same dismal statistic awaits men who make it to 45, and those who make it to 55. Inexplicably the messaging on cardiovascular disease somehow white-washes all of this.
In general, when one person is attempting to "debunk" statistics from government level health statistical organisations (and here he's arguing with CDC-NCHS) they need to be careful with their definitions (he isn't, see the CVD point above), and they need to be really careful with their numbers (he isn't, he's choosing ways to change the data to fit his narrative, rather than using standard methods).

Quoting from https://www.goredforwomen.org/en/about-heart-disease-in-women/facts/common-myths-about-heart-disease https://www.goredforwomen.org/en/about-heart-disease-in-wome... "Myth: Heart disease is for men, and cancer is the real threat for women Fact: Heart disease is a killer that strikes more women than men, and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined." Seems you're misinformed (to be polite). Perhaps readers should wonder what other statements you've made that you are misinformed about?
