Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death and disability in women and the numbers are rising. But by understanding more about the causes and impacts of cardiovascular disease, you can take steps to reduce your risk.

Today we are welcoming award-winning cardiologist and electrophysiologist Dr Aaisha Opel to the show. Dr Opel has a particular interest in women’s heart health and joins us to share all we need to know about looking after our hearts during and after menopause. 

In this episode they discuss:

  • How menopause affects heart health
  • The most common heart issues that arise during or after menopause
  • What symptoms should women look out for that might indicate a heart problem during menopause
  • How women can differentiate between symptoms of menopause and potential heart disease
  • The best things we can do to reduce our risk
