ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today, we’re diving into an invisible threat that’s all around us — air pollution. We know it affects our lungs, but what if I told you it might also be quietly scarring your heart, even if you feel completely fine?Joining me to unpack this groundbreaking research is Dr. Kate Hanneman — a trailblazer at the intersection of environmental health and cardiac imaging. She’s a cardiac radiologist, an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, and Vice Chair of Research in Medical Imaging. Having studied at the likes of Harvard, Stanford, and other prestigious institutions, she’s using her expertise in advanced cardiac MRI to reveal just how deeply air pollution—specifically PM2.5—can affect our hearts over time.
