Full Description
This book is the first authoritative and comprehensive volume examining cardiovascular health in women across the reproductive lifespan and beyond. It provides an up to date, in depth, and highly illustrated examination of the unique contributions of reproductive events in a woman's life on both her short-term and long-term cardiometabolic and cardiovascular health. Chapters 1-6 will discuss the early years, starting with menarche and move to infertility and early and premature menopause. Chapters 7-14 will then focus on the transition to menopause and its impact on women's cardiovascular health. Key chapters will discuss the effect of hormone therapies like menopausal hormone therapy and contraceptive hormone therapy on CVD. The book will conclude with CVD risk for post-menopausal women and future directions.
Cardiovascular Health Across and Beyond the Reproductive Lifespan is an essential resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students in cardiology, endocrinology, primary care, and health promotion and disease prevention.
