How Hormones Secretly Shape Women's Heart Health

Here’s something surprising: women are more likely than men to die after their first heart attack — and their symptoms often look completely different.

In this episode of “It’s All Connected” from Tia Health, host Elise Hu sits down with cardiologists Dr. Sahar Naderi, Dr. Marsha Stefanik, and Dr. Neica Goldberg to explore what makes women’s hearts unique. From estrogen’s protective role to how menopause, pregnancy, PCOS, and even stress affect the cardiovascular system, this episode uncovers the hidden story of women’s heart health — and what every woman should know to protect herself.
