Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women worldwide. Yet most people are still unaware that heart disease is not just a man’s problem. Carolyn Thomas, a heart attack survivor herself, is on a mission to educate women about their heart health. Based on her popular Heart Sisters blog, which has attracted more than 10 million views from readers in 190 countries, A Woman’s Guide to Living with Heart Disease combines personal experience and medical knowledge to help women learn how to understand and manage a catastrophic diagnosis.
In A Woman’s Guide to Living with Heart Disease, Thomas explains
– how to recognize the early signs of a heart attack
– why women often delay seeking treatment–and how to overcome that impulse
– the link between pregnancy complications and future heart disease
– why so many women with heart disease are misdiagnosed–and how to help yourself get an accurate diagnosis
– the importance of cardiac rehabilitation in lowering mortality risk
– what to expect during your recovery from a heart attack
– how the surreal process of coping with heart disease may affect your daily life
– methods for treating heart disease-related depression without drugs
Equal parts memoir about a misdiagnosed heart attack, guide to the predictable stages of heart disease–from grief to resilience–and patient-friendly translation of important science-based findings on women’s unique heart issues, this book is an essential read. Whether you’re a freshly diagnosed patient, a woman who’s been living with heart disease for years, or a practitioner who cares about women’s health, A Woman’s Guide to Living with Heart Disease will help you feel less alone and advocate for better health care.
