Title: The women's concise guide to a healthier heart
First published: 1997
Description: "The book lays out in plain English what we currently know about preventing, recognizing, and living with a heart problem. Does an aspirin a day prevent heart disease in women? Does moderate alcohol consumption help or hurt? What about weight gain in middle age? Estrogen replacement therapy? Weight-loss drugs? These are the kinds of everyday, life-and-death questions that are addressed specifically for women in this concise guide. It considers questions of cholesterol and diabetes, stress and anxiety, diet and smoking. It explores diagnostic procedures and surgeries and explains their differing reliability and benefits for women and men."--Jacket.
