WINNER OF THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARD One out of every two women will die of heart disease. It is the single greatest health risk for women today–more than stroke and all cancers combined. In the course of her practice, and as chief of Women’s Cardiac Care at New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital, Dr. Nieca Goldberg has come to a startling realization: Women experience heart disease in a fundamentally different way than men do. The physiology of a woman’s heart attack is not the same as a man’s, the symptoms of heart disease and signs of impending heart attack differ for women, and once heart disease has been recognized, women often do not get the treatment and medications they require. Now here are detailed, age-specific programs that give women the facts and the guidance they need to recognize, treat, and prevent heart disease, including • how you can rate your risk of heart disease • the effects of menopause on your heart • risk factors you can change–starting today • a heart-healthy exercise plan that works for you • a complete guide to heart-healthy supplements • the truth about hormone replacement therapy and the heart • recovering from a heart attack or surgery Authoritative, caring, and up-to-the-minute, this is the women’s health book for the new millennium.

Heart disease is the top cause of mortality for men, women, and individuals of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. One person dies every 34 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease. About 697,000 individuals in the United States died from heart disease in 2020-that's 1 in every 5 fatalities. In the United States, someone suffers a heart attack every 40 seconds. Every year, roughly 805,000 individuals in the United States experience a heart attack. Of these, 605,000 are a first heart attack, 200,000 happen to those who have previously experienced a heart attack. About 5 heart attacks are silent-the harm is done, but the victim is not aware of it. With these in mind, it's better to prevent heart complications from occurring than to be in this number. With so many good publications about cardiac protection currently accessible, why is heart disease still the number one killer of men and women? Despite hundreds of proven diet and exercise regimens available, why are most individuals overweight? Why aren't we doing a better job of preventing heart disease? We know what to do, so why aren't we following through? What are we doing wrong? In Healthy Habits For A Healthy Heart: Best Natural Preventive Practices For Heart Attack, cardiologist Dr. Robert C. Mansfield gives answers to these issues and offered a fresh approach, including nutrition and exercise, that may help you minimize your risk of heart disease. Prevention (reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar; decreasing weight via diet and exercise) must be seen as a genuine therapy for heart disease, no different from drugs, a heart bypass, or an angioplasty. In other words, regulating your blood pressure and decreasing your cholesterol (prevention) is equally as essential as having an angioplasty (therapy) (treatment). Losing weight and managing your diabetes (prevention) is just as vital as bypass surgery (therapy) (treatment). Prevention is the most essential therapy for heart disorders
