Heart disease doesn’t always look the way we think it does — especially in women.
In this episode of Aging Powerfully with Melissa Grelo, I’m joined by cardiologist and women’s heart health expert Dr. Tara Sedlak to dismantle the biggest myths surrounding women’s cardiovascular health — and explain why so many women’s symptoms are overlooked, misunderstood, or misdiagnosed.
We discuss:
why heart disease in women often looks nothing like what we’ve been taught
the most common misconceptions about women’s heart health
why women are more likely to be dismissed when reporting symptoms
how heart risk changes during perimenopause and menopause
conditions that disproportionately affect women, including scad and minoca
the role of pregnancy, stress, inflammation, and hormones in heart disease
what women should ask their doctors — and how to advocate for better care
This episode is empowering, eye-opening, and essential listening for women of all ages — especially those navigating midlife and beyond.
Listen now, share this with the women in your life and take charge of your heart health.
