Matters of the Heart, Part 1

This episode is all about heart health — and why it’s something women can’t afford to ignore. Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet so many of us don’t realize our risk or know what to look for. We’re joined by Martha Gulati, M.D., a leading expert in preventive cardiology and women’s heart health. She’s the director of the Women’s Heart Center at Houston Methodist and a nationally recognized voice in helping women better understand and protect their heart health.

Matters of the Heart, Part 2

In Matters of the Heart, part 2, we’re taking a closer look at triglycerides and what they can tell us about cardiovascular risk in women. Many women know are familiar with “good” cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol, but fewer understand the role triglycerides play in heart health. We’ll also unpack the latest ACC/AHA guidelines on dyslipidemia and discusswhat women should know to better understand their numbers and protect their heart health over time.

These episodes were produced with support from Amarin.
