Heart disease is the major cause of death in women. However, until about 10 years ago, most basic and clinical heart disease research focused exclusively on males. The root cause of heart disease in women has been generally overlooked ... until now! this landmark American Heart Association Monograph provides excellent insights into the current knowledge on the parameters that influence the etiology of heart disease in women. It focuses on the role of hormones, particularly estrogen, in modulating risk for heart disease, with a multi–disciplinary perspective that includes epidemiology, pathology of the artery wall and its interaction with estrogen, metabolism of lipoproteins in women, antioxidative properties of estrogen, and clinical aspects of hormone replacement therapy.
This book also addresses key issues as:
∗ How estrogen interacts with receptors, regulates function, and may act with regard to calcification of the artery wall.
∗ The interaction between estrogen and progestine′s potential antagonism toward estrogen′s beneficial effects.
∗ What remains to be learned about which form and route of delivery of estrogen and progestin are most efficacious in reducing heart disease risk.
