The Hidden Heart Health Indicator in Mammograms

What can a Mammogram tell you about your heart health? Join Gerianne DiPiano and her co-host, Dr. Katherine Sherif, as they discuss the critical link between breast arterial calcifications and heart health. Dr. Sherif explains how mammograms can reveal important information about cardiovascular health, particularly for women as they age. The conversation covers the implications of breast arterial calcifications, the importance of understanding risk factors for heart disease, and the need for women to advocate for their health by requesting detailed reports from their mammograms. We also emphasize the need for women to understand risk factors for heart disease and the role of hormones in overall health.

Dr. Katherine Sherif is an internal medicine physician, a professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University, and FemmePharma Medical Advisory Council Member. For more information on women's health, visit the FemmePharma website www.femmepharma.com
