Interview with Dr. José Abellán , interventional cardiologist at the Santa Lucía University General Hospital, science communicator, and one of the clearest and most empathetic voices for understanding cardiovascular health from a preventative perspective . An essential conversation for those who want to learn how to care for their heart with science and practical tools, without extremism or controversy.

We discussed topics that are essential for the general population:

How a heart attack manifests in men versus women, why the symptoms may be different, what signs we should not overlook, and in order to avoid delays in going to the emergency room.
Three key tips to prevent a heart attack. And, for those who have already suffered one, what habits really help recovery and reduce the risk of relapse.
Lipoprotein (a): the great unknown marker: what it is, why it doesn't resemble traditional cholesterol, and why 1 in 5 people have elevated levels without knowing it. Its role in residual cardiovascular risk.
Tobacco, alcohol and vaping : the real impact on the heart, what current evidence says about each and why the risks of vaping continue to be underestimated.
Strength training and hypertension : myth or reality? Dr. Abellán explains whether strength training is safe for people with high blood pressure and what the studies show.
