DID YOU KNOW... ...women are 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed
following a heart attack? ...more than twice as many women die from
coronary heart disease than from breast cancer in the UK?
...two-thirds of clinical research into heart disease focuses on
men? Coronary heart disease remains the single biggest killer of
women worldwide, yet it is still not seen as a woman's problem.
Every day the female heart patient is measured by male standards,
which leads to confusion, unclear diagnosis and often the wrong
treatment. In fact, women are incomparable to men down to each body
cell, which has consequences for both health and disease. When it
comes to medical science, cardiology is the most prominent example
in which gender matters. In A Woman's Heart, Professor Maas
explores how the female heart works and provides practical advice
for women, including: - The biology of the female heart - how it
works and ages differently to a male's - The effects of
female-specific issues, such as menopause - Heart attacks in women
- Lifestyle tips to prevent heart disease This vital book is the
result of decades of international research. It exposes the gender
bias in cardiology and paves the way for better heart health for
women everywhere.
