>>LAUREN VERNO: WELCOME BACK SO WE ARE IN THE FINAL DAYS APART BUMP AND A SPECIAL REPORT FROM
THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION
PUBLISHED LATE
LAST YEAR PROVIDED UP TO DATE
SYNOPSIS ON MENOPAUSE DATA
AND HOW IT RELATES TO
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
AND WOMEN. JOINING ME NOW TO
DISCUSS THIS DOCTOR SAUMIL OZA
A CARDIOLOGIST FROM ASCENSION
SAINT VINCENT SUNDAY
DOCTOR OZA SORRY, THANK YOU FOR
COMING FOR TALKING WITH US
TODAY.
>> YOU’VE
GOT ONE.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YOU KNOW WOMEN
USUALLY AND A PAUSE IN THEIR
LATE 40’S OR EARLY 50’S,
SO HOW THIS IS CHANGE
POTENTIALLY AFFECT THEIR
HEARTS.
>> SO THERE’S A LOT OF THEM ON
A CHASE THAT TAKE PLACE DURING
A PAUSE.
AS UNION AND PARTICULAR HAS
BEEN SHOWN TO BE PROTECTIVE OF
CRIME THAT’S WHEN THE SEAS.
AND DURING A PAUSE LEVELS IN
WOMEN. DECREASE
AND EVENTUALLY. THAT LEADS TO A
HIGHER RATE THAT’S A RISK.
>>LAUREN VERNO: SO IS IT MAY BE
RECOMMENDED THAT THEY HAVE
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE AS FAR
AS TRYING TO REALLY QUESTION
THAT THAT’S SOMETHING THAT’S
BEEN IT’S
DEBATED TOPIC. THERE’S BEEN
STUDIES THAT SHOW THAT ESTROGEN
AND REPLACEMENT THERAPY
IN PARTICULAR CAN ACTUALLY
INCREASE THE RISK OF HEART
ATTACK AND STROKE IN WOMEN.
HOWEVER WHEN YOU TAKE THE
TOTALITY OF THE DATA EVERYTHING
THAT’S OUT THERE WHICH IS WHAT
THEY DID WITH THIS
NEW REPORT. YOU BEGIN TO SEE
THAT THERE’S OTHER MORE NUANCED
PATTERNS HAS TO
HOW WOMEN SHOULD TAKE AND
REPLACEMENT THERAPY. I WASN’T
PARTICULARLY AND OTHER SIMILAR
TO THAT. THAT ARE GIVEN EARLIER DURING THAT APPLAUSE MEANING WHEN A WOMAN STARTS MINUTE
PAUSE COULD POSSIBLY BE
PROTECTED ALSO TAKING IT IN
CERTAIN CYCLE. CAN ALSO BE
PROTECTIVE OF HEART STROH
WHEREAS WHEN IT’S TAKEN LATER
AND GIVEN CHRONICALLY.
THAT CAN ACTUALLY INCREASE THE
REST SO IT’S A LITTLE BIT MORE
NUANCE THAN HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN THAT’S DEFINITELY
SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO
CONSULT WITH BE DUE AND A
PRIMARY CARE FOR AS
WELL AS A CARDIOLOGIST YOU DO
HAVE OTHER RISK FACTORS FOR.
CORNER DISEASE OR STROKE.
>> RIGHT IT SOUNDS
YOU COULD MAKE A GOOD OR BAD
DECISION WHEN IT COMES TO THAT
EVER SINCE THE VERDICT IS STILL
OUT ON THAT IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT WOMEN CAN NOTE OR BE AWARE
OF THAT MIGHT INCREASE THE RISK
AS THEY IN
A PAUSE.
>> WELL I ONE OF THE LITTLE
KNOWN FACTS UNFORTUNATELY WOMEN
ARE AWARE OF IS THAT IT IS THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN WOMEN
ONE IN 3 WOMEN ARE GOING TO DIE
OF
HEART DISEASE. SO I THINK JUST
CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE EARLY
ON MAKING SURE YOU MAKE THE
RIGHT DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES
TO EATING WHEN IT COMES TO
EXERCISE. WHEN IT COMES
TO STRESS. IS VERY IMPORTANT
THAT’S A CRITICAL THOSE
DECISIONS MAKE A LONG-TERM
EFFECT ON YOUR ON YOUR LIFE.
EXPECTANCY AS
WELL AS YOUR QUALITY OF BY
PREVENTING CORONARY DISEASE IN
THE FUTURE. SO THAT’S A VERY
CRITICAL AGE THAT
IS THAT NOT BECAUSE OF HER IS
THAT SO I THINK JUST MINIMIZING
YOUR RISK FACTORS FOR
CORONARY DISEASE
AT THAT IS IS CRITICAL AND JUST
KNOWING THAT IT IS A RISK IN
LOOKING FOR
SYMPTOMS OF HEART DISEASE AS
WELL AS ANYONE THAT WOMEN
DON’T REALIZE.
>> WHAT THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF
HEART DISEASE ARE RIGHT AND
THEY VARY SO MUCH AND THEY CAN
BE SO DIFFERENT
FOR WOMEN, SO I ALWAYS TELL
WOMEN YOU KNOW IF YOU JUST
DON’T FEEL WELL AND SOMETHING
DOESN’T FEEL RIGHT TALK TO
YOUR DOCTOR AND DEMAND THAT
THEY TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR HEART
BECAUSE IT COULD BE CONNECTED
TO THAT. ALSO IN THE STUDY OF
TALK ABOUT HISPANIC AND BLACK
WOMEN BEING MORE AT RISK OF
EXPERIENCING MENOPAUSE EARLIER
SO MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE MORE
AWARE OF THIS
AS WELL.
>> THAT’S CORRECT THE EARLIER
YOU REACH MENOPAUSE THE HIGHER
YOUR RISK FOR HEART DISEASE.
DURING YOUR
LIFE IS AND THAT MAY HAVE TO DO
WITH THE FACT THAT THE ASTORS
AND THAT’S
PROTECTIVE IS IS AT A LOWER
LEVEL EARLIER IN YOUR LIFE.
WOMEN
OF COLOR I TEND TO ALL CONTENT
AND LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS
ALSO
TEND TO NOT THEIR MEDICAID NOT
NOT ACCESS MEDICAL CARE AS
EARLY AS
AS OFTEN AS OTHER WOMEN SO THAT
ALSO LEADS TO A HIGHER RISK SO
I THINK RICHIE NOT POPULATION
IS CRITICAL TO TO REALLY
STEMMING THE SURGE OF HEART
DISEASE THAT WE’RE SEEING
THROUGHOUT
