EP376: Dr. Foo and Cardiovascular Risk For Women—Really Important Episode

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast, Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses cardiovascular health, particularly focusing on women's heart health, with guest Dr. Fiona Foo, an interventional cardiologist. They highlight the alarming statistic that coronary heart disease is the second leading cause of death among women in Australia, often underrecognised compared to other health issues like breast cancer. The conversation covers traditional risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and how some of these pose a greater risk for women. They also delve into sex-specific risk factors, including complications from pregnancy and autoimmune diseases, which can significantly increase cardiovascular risk.
