Dr. Stephen Sinatra
Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack?

Book Description
In Heart Sense For Women, Dr. Stephen Sinatra draws upon his 25 years of internal and cardiology medicine to present a landmark book specifically written for the non-specialist general reader and showing how a woman's heart is constructed differently than a man's, resulting in the experiences of heart problems somewhat differently than men do. Every aspect of female cardiology is covered including the way heart medications affect women, to subtler early warning symptoms for women, and more. The informative, potential lifesaving, very highly recommended text of Heart Sense For Women is replete with case studies and will enable women to read their body's unique and subtle signals in assessing if they are at risk for, or beginning to experience the symptoms of heart disease. An especially valued feature is a self-test that will help women assess their actual risk.

Heart Sense for Women will show you:

• Why heart medications work differently for women
• How women's early warning symptoms are totally different from men's-and why your cardiologist might not recognize them (until it is too late)
• The surprising news about cholesterol, homocysteine, lipoprotien (a), and LDL oxidation
• Why your intuition might be more reliable than a prescription
• His natural program for reducing your blood pressure and reducing your reliance on medication
• How a modified Mediterranean diet will help you prevent or reverse heart disease as well as osteoporosis and cancer... plus, the top 12 heart-healing food groups
• Why nutritional supplements are essential for heart health and longevity, including the five vitamins and minerals that you must have in your daily regimen
