About this book

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US, with more women dying from heart disease than men. Women may have different presentation from men and often need a different approach to diagnosis and treatment. There are also unique topics of management of heart disease in women, including issues during pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. Many different health care providers, as well as cardiologists are involved in treating these patients. A manual reviewing diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease in women would help providers without specific cardiology training to deliver care with greater efficiency. A practical and comprehensive guide geared towards these providers would be a highly practical and valuable resource that would be utilized in everyday practice in offices that include urban clinics, general medicine offices, obstetrics and gynecology offices, as well as in the surgical subspecialties. This book will be a highly practical resource that can be directly applied to the issues that arise in everyday practice. There is no available book on the market that focuses on a broader approach to cardiac disease in women or focuses on non-cardiology providers (and their trainees) who have the need to know more about treatment of cardiovascular disease in women.​

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The intended audience includes students in training, cardiologists, advanced practice clinicians, primary care providers, and specialists in reproductive medicine. … This book presents the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease in women and its management, as well as the latest updates and guidelines affecting this patient population. … Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of the differences women with cardiovascular disease face.” (Sylvia Alicia Oleck, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2014)
