Details specific treatment and management options for heart disease in women
Easy to read format with chapters dedicated to specific clinical questions​
This book summarizes the great progress in the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Due to improved therapies,
preventive strategies and increased public awareness, CVD mortality has been on the decline for both genders.
Unfortunately, the decline has been less prominent for women, and CVD remains the leading cause of mortality for women
in the United States and is responsible for a third of all deaths of women worldwide.

Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Women provides a comprehensive overview of differences in cardiac problems in
women including the challenges and limitations of the available literature. Unique aspects to women뭩 heart health
such as pregnancy, the impact of emotional stress and other psychosocial issues are discussed by leading experts in the
field. They therefore provide important insight to cardiovascular care in women, making this book an essential resource
for a wide range of practitioners including cardiologists, primary care providers, internists, and reproductive
healthcare professionals.
