Synopsis

One of Americas preeminent heart physicians discusses women's heart health in an accessible, groundbreaking, and potentially life-saving book, now completely updated and revised.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in American women. As public awareness of this fact grows, women are paying more attention to the risks of heart disease. In this revised edition of the originally published, highly successful guide to women's heart health, an internationally renowned cardiologist, Dr. Pashkow, and a survivor of open heart surgery, Charlotte Libov, cover every aspect of heart care, heart surgery, and the prevention of heart disease. Drawing from their combined experience, the authors offer information on calculating the risk for heart disease; finding a good doctor; detecting congenital defects; what a pregnant woman needs to know about potential heart problems; and state-of-the art treatments, surgery, and drug therapies. In addition, the book features an effective diet and exercise life-plan that can dramatically reduce the risks of heart disease, especially in women with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular problems. Reassuring and totally up-to-date, The Woman's Heart Book is essential reading for all women.
