Maas, Angela H. E. M.2020
Books
Did you know women are 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed following a heart attack? More than twice as many women die from coronary heart disease than from breast cancer in the UK? Two thirds of clinical research into heart disease focuses on men? Coronary heart disease remains the single biggest killer of women worldwide, yet it is still not seen as a woman's problem. Every day the female heart patient is measured by male standards, which leads to confusion, unclear diagnosis and often the wrong treatment. In fact, women are incomparable to men down to each body cell, which has consequences for both health and disease. When it comes to medical science, cardiology is the most prominent example in which gender matters. In 'A Woman's Heart', Professor Maas explores how the female heart works and provides practical advice for women.
