The comprehensive guide to women's cardiovascular health — covering sex-specific risk factors, atypical heart attack symptoms, menopause and cardiac risk, and the preventive strategies that matter most for women.
The research is unambiguous: women are more likely to die after a first heart attack than men. They wait longer to call 911. Their symptoms are more likely to be dismissed — by others and by themselves. They are less likely to be referred for cardiac workup.
This guide was written because the knowledge gap itself is a risk factor. Every woman who understands her atypical symptoms, knows her sex-specific risk factors, and understands how menopause affects her cardiac risk is a woman who will act faster and get appropriate care.
Preeclampsia, PCOS, early menopause, autoimmune conditions, cancer treatment, and more.
Classic vs. women's atypical presentations — side by side.
What happens to LDL, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness during menopause.
The timing hypothesis and current evidence on hormone therapy.
Sex-specific prevention strategies including the PREDIMED evidence for women's cardiac outcomes.
Complete women's cardiac risk assessment checklist to complete with Dr. Nyange.
"I went into cardiology because heart disease in women was — and remains — systematically undertreated. Women present differently, get worked up less aggressively, and are less likely to receive guideline-directed therapy. This guide is my contribution to changing that, one patient at a time."
The guide every woman should read — and every woman with a heart condition must read.
