Back to Podcast Episodes419. HFpEF in Women with Dr. Anu Lala and Dr. Martha Gulati
In this episode, CardioNerds Dr. Anna Radakrishnan and Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli are joined by prevention expert Dr. Martha Gulati and heart failure expert Dr. Anu Lala to discuss heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a multifactorial, evolving challenge, particularly in women. In this episode, we delve into the distinctive clinical presentation and pathophysiology of HFpEF among women, exploring both traditional and gender-specific risk factors, from metabolic and inflammatory processes to the impact of obesity, sleep apnea, and gender-specific conditions. We also discussed the latest evidence on prevention strategies and emerging therapies that not only target HFpEF symptoms but also address underlying risk factors. This conversation highlights the importance of multidisciplinary, holistic care to advance diagnosis, management, and ultimately, patient outcomes for women with HFpEF. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Christiana Dangas.
