HERology

How does pregnancy affect your heart health—and what can we learn from pregnancy about your cardiovascular health? On this episode of HERology, co-hosts Drs. Joanne Stone, Leslee Shaw, and Anu Lala explore how pregnancy often acts as a “stress test” for the body. The conversation highlights how conditions such as high blood pressure, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia are not isolated events, but early warning signs of future cardiovascular disease. From pregnancy through midlife and beyond, understanding the risks and benefits of pregnancy can empower women—and their providers—to take proactive steps in improving health. HERology from Mount Sinai Health System is here to give you the answers—one busted myth at a time. 🎧 Subscribe to HERology and explore more podcast programming from Mount Sinai for expert conversations on the biggest issues in medicine, research, and patient care: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCT7BA-HcHljLosQGv1XbpLc-IVpPBfEd To learn more about Mount Sinai’s services or to schedule an appointment with the Rowan Center, visit Mount Sinai online today: https://www.mountsinai.org/?pk_vid=174eeee090819798177342044977c34c
