  • Episode 03 - Unmasking ASCVD: The Silent Threat to Heart Health
    Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the underlying cause of 85% of heart attacks and strokes, yet it’s still not widely recognised or properly understood.   In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Irene Gibson, an expert in cardiovascular health, to discuss the impact of ASCVD, the challenges in diagnosing it early, and what needs to change to improve awareness and prevention.  We’ll also explore the inequalities in cardiovascular care, especially how heart disease in women is underdiagnosed and under-researched. We’ll look at why these gaps exist and what can be done to improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for women.  This conversation is part of a wider effort to raise awareness, by Croí, Global Heart Hub, and the Invisible Nation campaign, working to ensure that ASCVD and its impact—especially on women—is no longer ignored  Croí’s free nurse helpline, Croí Connects is available Monday – Friday, 9am – 5.30pm.

  • Episode 02 - Lp(a), the risk factor for heart disease and stroke you have probably never heard of.
    In this episode, we’re talking about a risk factor for heart disease and stroke that you’ve probably never heard of — Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a). Despite its significant impact, most of us have never heard of it. Consultant cardiologist Dr. Paddy Barrett joins us to explain what Lp(a) is, how common it is, and why it’s so important to get it tested at least once in your life.  If you’re interested in understanding more about hidden risks and proactive heart health and stroke prevention, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.  Croí’s free nurse helpline, Croí Connects is available Monday – Friday, 9am – 5.30pm.
