Download or read book Women And Cardiovascular Disease Addressing Disparities In Care written by Kevin R Campbell and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the US and Europe today. Over the last 20 years, many innovations in technology have allowed for improved therapies for heart attack and stroke and overall outcomes have significantly improved. Death rates from cardiovascular disease in men are declining.However, even with these improvements in care, death rates for women remain unchanged. This book will explore these gender disparities in care in depth — specific sections will be devoted to answering the questions of why they are occurring and what healthcare providers and women can do to effect change and narrow the gender gap in cardiovascular care.Ultimately, this book is designed to open the eyes of healthcare providers, medical professionals and policy makers — as well as potential female patients — and should serve as a “call to action” to promote better cardiovascular care for women. Through education, awareness and advocacy women worldwide will benefit, the gap will begin to close and better cardiovascular care can be provided for all.

Download or read book A Woman s Heart written by Angela Maas and published by Aster. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Cardiovascular Disease In Women written by Lee Marie Atwood and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women’s personal awareness of cardiovascular disease has increased but failed to translate into a preventive modification of behaviors to decrease risk (Mosca, Hammond, Mochari-Greenberger, Towfighi, & Albert, 2013). There is evidence that perception of susceptibility, modifiable risk factors, and a lack of preventive measures contributes to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in women (American Heart Association, 2014). Women’s perceptions of their risks for heart disease can also greatly influence their behaviors and healthcare decisions (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2014b). The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between health beliefs of women and their risk for cardiovascular disease. This study will use a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlation design with a convenience sample of women veterans between 20 to 40 years of age enrolled in the Veterans Affairs (VA) San Diego Healthcare System recruited from the women’s health clinics. Data will be collected using a combination of printed questionnaires to measure health beliefs, risks for cardiovascular disease, and demographic data and a chart review to obtain measurements of blood pressure, height, weight, total cholesterol, and serum glucose levels. Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) will be used to analyze Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficient of health belief benefits and barriers to active engagement in preventive behaviors and risks for cardiovascular disease. The results will contribute to the development of interventions to educate women and healthcare providers to increase awareness, effectively identify personal risk and motivate women to engage in screening and preventive lifestyle behaviors to reduce risk.
