Guidelines for Preventing Heart Disease in Women

Heart disease - and not cancer - is the number one killer of women in the U.S. Unfortunately, several studies have documented that many women do not receive appropriate attention from their doctors regarding heart disease - for either its treatment or prevention. The American Heart Association has published guidelines on preventing heart disease in women, and if docs aren't paying enough attention to them, then American women should. The guidelines for women are not quite the same as for men. Read about these recommendations here.
