Listen "Heartbeats Ignored: Women and Cardiac Arrest"
Episode Synopsis
Women are less likely than men to receive lifesaving care during a cardiac arrest, a disparity that can mean the difference between life and death. Understanding why this gap exists is the first step toward changing it—and ensuring everyone gets the help they need, when they need it most. In this episode of In the Heart of Care, Heather Baker shares the story of her sudden cardiac arrest: an ordinary workday that turned into a fight for her life. We also hear from Dr. Audrey Blewer, a resuscitation scientist and associate professor at Duke University, whose research sheds light on why women are less likely to receive CPR and what can be done to close that gap.
