Sometimes women ignore these symptoms, thinking they may be because of other illnesses. In this episode of the DocTalks Podcast, host Ian Gillespie chats with Dr. Ashlay Huitema a cardiologist in the Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Program at St. Joseph’s Health Care London about the causes of heart attacks and heart disease in women, the treatment and rehabilitation options available and how women can prevent heart disease. Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts - https://share.transistor.fm/s/a6f2914f.
