Episode 7

Up to 40% of people with cardiovascular disease have depression and over 50% of people with heart failure have anxiety. It’s very important to address this and to make sure that there are robust plans of care for mental health in the context of cardiovascular disease. Join Dr. Bojana Jankovic Weatherly and Dr. Satjit Bhusri as they discuss the connection between cardiovascular health and mental health, menopausal hormone therapy, and cardiovascular risk and prevention. With over 20 years of experience in clinical cardiology and heart failure, Dr. Bhusri is a triple board certified physician and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (ACC). In regards to a preventative approach to cardiovascular care, this episode will answer questions like:

-What types of tests are important?
-What should I be asking my doctor about when it comes to heart health?
-What sort of blood work and imaging are important and generally when?
-What are some of the risk factors that we should consider when we think about that diagnostic and preventative approach?
-How are mental health and cardiovascular disease related?
