      Description

      This book “Women and Heart Diseases” represents an important resource for women’s cardiovascular health. Its 21 chapters cover nontraditional risk factors for women including pregnancy-related disorders, autoimmune conditions, and social and behavioral factors that are known to be important determinants of future CVD, alongside more traditional risk factors such as hypertension. The intersection between CVD and cancer is covered, particularly in the case of breast cancer with further chapters focused around cardiac imaging, atrial fibrillation, and peripheral vascular disease. Other chapters focus around coronary artery disease and INOCA, which predominantly impact women, providing insights into diagnoses, treatments, and longer term outcomes as well as spontaneous coronary artery dissection that predominantly affects younger women and accounts for 25% of myocardial infarction in women under the age of 60 years. Inequalities in the receipt of treatments and outcomes are a recurring theme, with chapters highlighting heart failure, stroke, and PCI as exemplars of acute cardiovascular conditions with a specific focus around the primary and secondary prevention of CVD and drug therapy.
