"This is the sixth edition of our biennial publication on the status of cardiovascular diseases in Canada. It serves as a natural sequel to the previous edition, The Changing Face of Heart Disease and Stroke in Canada 2000, which focused on the unfavourable profile of determinants of cardiovascular disease with an aging population and the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles by young Canadians, immigrants and native peoples. In this edition, we highlight the ongoing high cost that these diseases impose on our society, both in financial terms and in quality of life. With a predicted increase in the number of cases of cardiovascular diseases over the next 20 years, the resulting burden is expected to continue to increase"--Introduction.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US, with more women dying from heart disease than men. Women may have different presentation from men and often need a different approach to diagnosis and treatment. There are also unique topics of management of heart disease in women, including issues during pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. Many different health care providers, as well as cardiologists are involved in treating these patients. A manual reviewing diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease in women would help providers without specific cardiology training to deliver care with greater efficiency. A practical and comprehensive guide geared towards these providers would be a highly practical and valuable resource that would be utilized in everyday practice in offices that include urban clinics, general medicine offices, obstetrics and gynecology offices, as well as in the surgical subspecialties. This book will be a highly practical resource that can be directly applied to the issues that arise in everyday practice. There is no available book on the market that focuses on a broader approach to cardiac disease in women or focuses on non-cardiology providers (and their trainees) who have the need to know more about treatment of cardiovascular disease in women.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus immediately qualify for benefits. In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.
