Heart Healthy Woman: A woman's Guide to Understanding, Conquering, and Thriving with heart Disease

Globally, heart disease is the primary cause of death for women. However, the majority of people are still ignorant that heart disease does not only affect men. One or more heart disease risk factors are present in 90% of women. However, by taking deliberate, calculated steps to change your risk factors and empower you to make better decisions in life, you can slow or even reverse the progression of heart disease.
Dr. Sandra Brooks examines the various ways in which our hearts serve as the gateway to general well-being. The traditional heart disease risk factors-high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and poor diet-are important, but symptoms of the condition differ in women and can be misdiagnosed for years. These can be concealed during pregnancy, the postpartum period, and menopause, only to resurface with enormous power later in life. They include sadness, anxiety and panic attacks, restless nights, and generalized pain.
Now is the time to take charge of your well-being and also become heart healthy.
