About
Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, but symptoms are often missed because diagnostic tools were designed for men. Health journalist Meghan Rabbitt talks to Liz about why medicine has been getting women's health wrong for decades and how to protect ourselves.
They discuss how the differences in the female body require a more nuanced approach to healthcare, and how heart attack symptoms in women can be more subtle.
Meghan also explains how menopause can increase our risk of heart disease, dementia and autoimmune conditions – and the practical steps we can take to safeguard our health at every age.
