Cardiologist expert on the benefits of breastfeeding in women’s heart health

“There’s a new study that has shown that in women who breastfeed, they reduce their later risk of heart disease, and the longer they breastfeed, the lower the risk later in life,” said Tomas H. Ayala, M.D., FACC,  a general cardiologist in Baltimore, who sees patients at The Heart Center at Reisterstown, a satellite location of The Heart Center at Mercy.
