In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Dr Jayne Morgan, a cardiologist and leading advocate for improving recognition of cardiovascular disease in women. Despite being the number one cause of death globally, heart disease in women remains underdiagnosed, misunderstood and frequently misattributed to anxiety or stress.
Together, they explore how differences in symptoms between men and women have led to systemic gaps in diagnosis and treatment, with many women experiencing delays in care or missing warning signs altogether.
They also discuss the critical role of hormones, particularly estradiol, in protecting cardiovascular health and why cardiovascular health should be considered a core part of menopause care.
