Synopsis

The biggest achievement of last century is greater longevity, that has resulted in an increasing aged population worldwid.

The advantage of increased longevity is only when it is translated into healthy aging.

As women transition through menopause, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) significantly increase – yet many remain unaware of the connection between menopause and heart health. This book delves into this often-overlooked aspect of women's health, providing readers with the knowledge to safeguard their well-being.

Key points: 

 Menopause is a universal and natural event in women's life.

 Menopause is inevitable but we can make it easy and equally beautiful by understanding it. 

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is number one killer in women especially after menopause, cancer being second.

Women can develop heart disease at any age, but the risk increases after menopause, usually after 55 years of age.

While average age for heart attack is 64.5 years for men and 70.3 years for women, nearly 20% of those who die of heart disease are under the age of 65 years.

Studies have shown that estrogen deficiency in menopause is an added risk factor to cardiovascular disease other than the risk factors common to both genders.

 Additionally, there are some nontraditional women-specific risk factors for CVD such as pregnancy complications, polycystic ovarian disease, autoimmune diseases and age at menarche. 

Take charge of your heart health today.
