Pregnancy-Related and Other Women Specific Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Guest: Rekha Mankad, M.D. (@RMankadMD)
Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky)
Data supports that women's risk of heart disease has been underrecognized — women are dying of heart disease at increasingly higher rates. Women have the same regular risk factors as men, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking, but there are some additional female-specific risk factors.
Joining us today to discuss pregnancy and cardiovascular risk is Rekha Mankad, M.D., a noninvasive cardiologist at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with special interest in heart disease in women.
Specific topics discussed:
- Guidelines that address women's risk factors for heart disease
- Complications related to menopause and pregnancy
- Impact of diabetes on heart disease in women
- Preventive screening and risk assessment
- Autoimmune diseases and heart disease in women
- Impact of marriage on women's risk of heart disease
