WOMEN & HEART DISEASE
2nd Edition
2nd Edition
By
Nanette Kass Wenger
Despite media attention and public awareness, recent advances in pharmaceutical and medical developments, heart disease in women is under-diagnosed, under-treated, and under-managed. Many women fail to present in the clinic when symptomatic, because of responsibilities at home or at work. Often the first presentation follows a cardiac event. Women are excluded from many clinical trials regardless of age or cardiac history, simply because most trials are aimed at male patients. This best-selling, updated title, aimed at changing this treatment of women's cardiac issues, covers all aspects of female cardiovascular disease. It is required reading for all practitioners who assess female patients.
Information about coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease in women is rapidly escalating, likely as a component of the concept of sex-specific medicine during the past decade. Unequivocally, the landmark 2001 Institute of Medicine report Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health: Does Sex Matter?2 has been the beacon for better understanding of the differences in human diseases between the sexes and translation of these differences into clinical practice
