Podcasts about women and heart disease

You've probably heard the saying: “Men are from Mars; women are from Venus.” Well, that may apply to heart health too.  Recent research has shown how heart disease and heart attacks can affect women worse or very differently, compared to men. This makes it so important for women to take charge of their health and understand their personal risk factors and family history.  Host:  Neki Mohan, Award-winning Journalist Guest: Lisa Forbess, M.D., Medical Director, Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiac-OB Services.

“Because what happens is that the symptoms in men are presumed to be the gold standard. And the symptoms in women are considered atypical. Well, they're not atypical. They're typical for women. And we then have to define what is specific to women.” - Dr. Nanette WengerToday On Medical Grounds, we will be speaking with Dr. Nanette Wenger about heart disease in women, differences in risks, and how women talk about symptoms of heart disease differently than men. Dr. Wenger is Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at the Emory University School of Medicine. Her career is a series of firsts. She received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1954 as one of their first female graduates. During her postgraduate work at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, she became the first woman to be chief resident in the cardiology department. Throughout her career, Dr. Wenger has focused on heart disease in women, despite the consensus in the medical community that this was a disease found primarily in men. In 1993, Dr. Wenger co-wrote a landmark review article that demonstrated that cardiovascular disease affects women as much as men. Prior to this point in time, women were more likely to die from the disease because their symptoms were not recognized. She also helped write the 2007 guidelines for preventing cardiovascular disease in women. As a pioneer in gender disparities in medicine, Dr. Wenger has devoted her career to understanding how coronary artery disease affects women.For additional show notes including an infographic on the state of women in hart disease, please visit OnMedicalGrounds.com.(00:47) Introducing Dr. Wenger(02:23) Why cardiology?(03:30) When did Dr. Wenger discover heart disease was different in women?(07:41) How is heart disease different for women?(12:36) How are we falling behind on awareness and care?Visit us at OnMedicalGrounds.com for more podcasts!

Is Work Stressing You Out? Does it Make Your Blood Pressure Go Up? As Dr. Jacqueline Eubany shares, too much daily stress can lead to hypertension, a serious condition that affects one in three adults in the US.

From using meditation and breathing exercises to taking a walk on your lunch break, Dr Jackie shares tips on reducing stress to keep your heart healthy at work. Dr. Jackie is a board-certified cardiologist and electrophysiologist, and author of the best-selling book, "Women and Heart Disease: The Real Story." More: https://womenandheartdiseasebook.com/

The #1 Killer of Women is Heart Attacks and Stroke. February is the American Heart Association Month so I reached out to my friend Beth Greve who is a stroker survivor and Dr. Magliato who is one of the first cardiac heart surgeons and both are Ambassadors for AHA to answer many of the questions we have when it comes to heart disease. Dr. Magliato also explains the new found evidence of how COVID19 is affecting our heart health. - More young females are having heart disease. Dr. Magliato explains why this is happening. - There are 2 Risk Factors we can do Nothing about. There are several Risk Factors we can Control to prevent a Heart Attack. - Heart Disease is 80% preventable. - AHA recommends to exercise 4 days a week or 150 minutes a week.  - The test we need to take to make sure that we have a baseline for our heart. The tests besides an EKG we should ask our doctors to do for us. - COVID19 is not only a respiratory virus but a heart virus. We talk about the issues people are having after getting COVID19 not only people with mild symptoms but athletes and children! - COVID and Endothelial Article in Nature.com -Elizabeth Banks "Just a Little Heart Attack" video - #rockyourrecess @ - Be an Advocate for Your Health!

Anchor lead: New research is trying to tease out why young black women in the US may experience higher rates of cardiovascular problems. Elizabeth Tracey reports. Black women experience higher rates of preeclampsia, a dangerous condition affecting blood pressure, while pregnant than other ethnicities. Garima Sharma, a cardiologist at Johns Hopkins, is trying to find […]

New guidelines on primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in women were released in 2020, highlighting new risk factors special to women. Dr. Leslie Cho, Director of the Women’s Cardiovascular Center and Co-Section Head, Preventive Cardiology, talks about how your pregnancy or having auto-immune disease may be related to future heart disease. She also talks about the treatment of traditional risk factors in women.

New research on women and heart disease Admit it. We women think we're kinda in the clear when it comes to heart disease because we have estrogen. New research says we need to reconsider this thinking. Apparently, women's blood vessels experience time and age at different rates than men. The cascade of heart disease typically starts with high blood pressure. And the bad news is that we women start to show high blood pressure much earlier than men do. There's a reason why high blood pressure is called the silent killer. The problems it causes aren't felt until there's a cardiac event or kidneys fail. Blood pressure thresholds for women and men need to be changed because women develop high blood pressure earlier. The way that women's heart health is evaluated should be upgraded in light of this ongoing research. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/drclaudia/message

Women are not small men and, when it comes to heart disease, they have paid a high price because medical science has treated them that way. Women have been under-researched, under-diagnosed and under-treated, but, according to "The 2020 Heart & Stroke Spotlight on Women", progress is being made. Libby Znaimer sat down with Dr. Paula Harvey, Physician-in-Chief and director of the Cardiovascular research Program at Women's College Hospital. AND Are you an optimist?

Marcia Stefanick reviews the differences in heart disease with regards to gender and age and how certain aspects of treatment should be changed to better address these differences. (November 15, 2011)

For the majority of women with heart disease, their first symptom is a fatal attack.  There have been great strides made in the detection of breast cancer but not in women's heart disease.  Dr. Blanchet and Lindsay discuss some reasons why. Hear Dr. Blanchet reveal a shocking truth about mammograms that will change the way you view this screening procedure.

During this final installment of our 3 part series about women and heart disease we will be focusing on heart problems older women are more likely to experience.

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Rita Redberg, MD, MSc It is increasingly recognized that symptoms of heart disease are different for men and women. But it appears we are often slower to recognize heart disease in women, resulting in important distinctions in early treatment and outcomes. What are these differences, and how can we, as providers, help narrow this gender gap? Host Dr. Janet Wright welcomes Dr. Rita Redberg, professor of clinical medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine (UCSF), and director of women's cardiovascular services at the UCSF National Center for Excellence in Women's Health, for an important conversation about where can we do a better job of encouraging women to be aware of cardiac concerns specific to women? Dr. Redberg also shares her approach to evaluating female patients with symptoms that are suggestive but not definitive.
