Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a heart attack survivor, you know that you must do everything within your power to prevent yourself from having another heart attack. The reason is simple; as a heart attack survivor, you are at greater risk of suffering another heart attack, one that could end your life. A Woman's Guide to Heart Attack Recovery provides heart attack survivors with a multi-faceted approach to preventing subsequent heart attacks. First, you need to empower yourself, and the way to do that is to learn as much as you can about your heart, the heart attack treatments you may have undergone, and, if you've only recently had your heart attack, the key steps to recuperation. You also need to know what to do in an emergency in case you experience another heart attack. Many chapters in this book — such as the ones on high blood pressure, diabetes, weight control, diet and exercise — are filled with information on how to achieve these specific goals. A heart attack can be a life-affirming wake-up call and many women find their life afterward to be better than it was before. Many of you will find it to be the impetus you need to make changes towards living a healthier life. A Women's Guide to Heart Attack Recovery is devoted to helping you do just that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leading cause of death for women worldwide is heart disease. Nonetheless, most individuals are still unaware that heart disease is not exclusive to men. Ninety percent of women have at least one heart disease risk factor. But you can slow or even stop the evolution of heart disease by making purposeful, deliberate changes to your risk factors and giving yourself the ability to make better decisions in life. This thorough guide explores the different ways in which our hearts are the entryway to overall health. The classic heart disease risk factors-high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and poor diet-remain significant, but women's symptoms of the illness are different and can go years without a correct diagnosis. These can be hidden during menopause, the postpartum phase, and pregnancy, only to reappear later in life with great force. They consist of depressive feelings, panic attacks and anxiety, sleepless nights, and all-over pain. Now is the perfect moment to start taking control of your health and developing heart health.

If you have (or think you may have) a medical problem, speak to your doctor or a health professional immediately about your risk and possible treatments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After undergoing emergency bypass surgery at age forty-two, Kathy Kastan found her world shifting in unexpected ways. Everything-her sense of well-being, relationships, daily routine, even her body image-seemed to change. Doctors helped her recover physically, but she had to find new methods to recover emotionally and create a happy, healthy life. In From the Heart, Kastan combines her personal experience and expertise as a therapist with stories from scores of other women with heart disease, creating an essential resource that will help women reduce stress, give up hard-tobreak habits, adapt to new lifestyles-and thrive again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE BOOKS FOR A BETTER LIFE AWARD One out of every two women will die of heart disease. It is the single greatest health risk for women today–more than stroke and all cancers combined. In the course of her practice, and as chief of Women’s Cardiac Care at New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital, Dr. Nieca Goldberg has come to a startling realization: Women experience heart disease in a fundamentally different way than men do. The physiology of a woman’s heart attack is not the same as a man’s, the symptoms of heart disease and signs of impending heart attack differ for women, and once heart disease has been recognized, women often do not get the treatment and medications they require. Now here are detailed, age-specific programs that give women the facts and the guidance they need to recognize, treat, and prevent heart disease, including • how you can rate your risk of heart disease • the effects of menopause on your heart • risk factors you can change–starting today • a heart-healthy exercise plan that works for you • a complete guide to heart-healthy supplements • the truth about hormone replacement therapy and the heart • recovering from a heart attack or surgery Authoritative, caring, and up-to-the-minute, this is the women’s health book for the new millennium.
