{"product_id":"9781783265039","title":"WOMEN AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: Addressing Disparities in Care","description":"\u003cp\u003eCardiovascular 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHowever, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUltimately, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDedication\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eEpidemiologic Considerations in Cardiovascular Disease\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eGender Differences in Disease Manifestation and Presentation\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eGender Differences in Testing and Evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eGender Differences in the Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExploring the Root Causes\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eClosing the Gap: Strategies to Effect Change\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe Role of the OB\/GYN in Improving Women's Cardiovascular Health\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTaking Control: Battling Obesity through Exercise\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eTaking Control: Battling Obesity through Dietary Change and Stress Management\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecial Considerations: Women and Sudden Cardiac Death\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWomen and Congestive Heart Failure\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eEmpowering Women to Take Control\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWomen and Atrial Fibrillation\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e General readers, women interested in empowering their health, healthcare professionals, healthcare managers, and healthcare policymakers. \u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eNo other book specifically addresses gender disparity in cardiovascular disease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAs a champion and advocate for women with cardiovascular disease over the last ten years, Campbell is uniquely positioned as an expert in this arena\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthor uses “real world” examples to provide insight for healthcare providers and patients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140277125360,"sku":"9781783265039","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783265039_p0.jpg?v=1763723000","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783265039","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
