Listener Shares Touching Story on France Bleu

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
