Preface to the New Edition |
What do you want and need to know about women's heart health? In a very real sense, this new edition of the Healthy Heart Handbook for Women tries to resond to that question. To help us prepare this updated version, we surveyed women across the country to find out their opinions and thoughts about it. One of the most important questions we asked was: What specific topics would you like to see added or discussed in more detail in the next edition?
We received lots of good ideas. Most readers liked the self-help emphasis in the book, and wanted even more information to help them make good decisions about such topics as hormone replacement therapy, treatment for high blood cholesterol, healthy eating, and physical activity. Many found the heart-healthy recipe section very useful- and wanted still more recipe ideas. As a result of this input, these topics are treated in more detail in this edition.
Other suggestions prompted us to include entirely new subjects for the handbook, including the warning signs of a heart attack, how to talk with your doctor about heart health, and whether vitamin suppliments can prevent heart disease. these topics and other new subjects are discussed in this edition.
Because of the good feedback we received from women across the country, we believe that this edition of the Healthy Heart Handbook for Women will be even more useful to women as they make thoughtful, informed decisions about their heart health.
