Listener Shares Touching Story on France Bleu

Thanks to Corentine Feltz for inviting me to be a guest on her Tous Experts radio show on France Bleu on Saturday, June 20. A listener named Danièle spoke about the gastric and digestive symptoms she experienced during her recent heart attack. I was very touched when she shared that my book Mon combat pour le Cœur des Femmes (My Fight for Women’s Hearts) helped her get back on her feet.

This show gave me an opportunity to remind listeners that hospitalizations for heart attacks among women ages 45 to 54 are increasing 5% per year, mainly because of early exposure to smoking, stress, sedentary lifestyles, instability and combination contraceptives with estrogen. Traditional risk factors are more toxic for women’s arteries, plus they have hormonal risk factors to deal with. I also had the opportunity to talk about the gynecardiology concept that we set up at University Hospital of Lille that brings together gynecologists, cardiologists, general practitioners, pharmacists and other healthcare staff. Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation is working to expand this integrated care pathway to other regions.
June 20 show begins at 38:30
