Not long ago, it was assumed that coronary heart disease mainly--or
only--affected men. Now that CHD is recognized as a leading killer
of women as well as men, numerous research studies have been made
of its diverse presentations in women, causal factors, and
possibilities for prevention and treatment. The expert
contributions to Psychosocial Stress and Cardiovascular Disease in
Women span the results of this cross-disciplinary awareness. This
progressive resource takes a three-dimensional approach to its
subject, focusing on epidemiology and risk factors for heart
disease in women, the psycho- and neurobiology of stress and
coronary disease, and promising clinical interventions. Chapters
identify and analyze multiple intersections of social, biological,
and psychological factors in affecting women's heart health, from
the social dimensions of depression to genetic/environmental
interactions to the demands of balancing work and family. These
wide-ranging findings will assist and motivate professionals in
choosing and creating interventions, developing appropriate
prevention strategies, and reducing gender-based disparities in
health care. Among the topics covered: Enhancing women's heart
health: a global perspective. Coronary heart disease in women:
evolution of our knowledge. Gender observations on basic
physiological stress mechanisms in men and women. Sleep as a means
of recovery and restitution in women. LifeSkills training:
benefiting both genders, for different reasons. Gender
considerations in psychosocial-behavioral interventions for
coronary heart disease. In particular this book will be helpful for
cardiologists and other clinicians who may ask themselves why
patients do not seem to make rational choices. "Why do patients not
follow the advice they are offered?" is a common complaint. The
role of psychosocial stress for patient compliance and adherence
can be traced throughout the volume. It is emphasized in the
chapters on psychosocial interventions along with other tangible
and conceptual suggestions and experiences with psychosocial stress
and life style change. Psychosocial Stress and Cardiovascular
Disease in Women offers a deep practical level of understanding of
this epidemic to help expand the work of health and clinical
psychologists, sociologists, cardiologists, primary care
physicians, and epidemiologists.
