  • Summary

  • Heart disease and stroke affect women differently from men. One big factor just starting to be understood is the stages of a woman’s life. Listen as we trace the impact of pregnancy and menopause on heart disease and stroke risk, and why women are more vulnerable at different times in their lives.

    Featuring special guest host Deborah Cox, we hear the story of Christina Stuwe who didn't know that complications during her pregnancy could increase her risk of heart disease years later. We also hear from Dr. Karin Humphries, Associate Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia. She explains how life stages affect a woman's risk and why it is still a misunderstood area of women’s health.
