Management of Cardiovascular Disease in Women
Author: Hanna Z. Mieszczanska
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1447155173
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 470
Book Description
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women in the US, with more women dying from heart disease than men. Women may have different presentation from men and often need a different approach to diagnosis and treatment. There are also unique topics of management of heart disease in women, including issues during pregnancy, lactation, and menopause. Many different health care providers, as well as cardiologists are involved in treating these patients. A manual reviewing diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease in women would help providers without specific cardiology training to deliver care with greater efficiency. A practical and comprehensive guide geared towards these providers would be a highly practical and valuable resource that would be utilized in everyday practice in offices that include urban clinics, general medicine offices, obstetrics and gynecology offices, as well as in the surgical subspecialties. This book will be a highly practical resource that can be directly applied to the issues that arise in everyday practice. There is no available book on the market that focuses on a broader approach to cardiac disease in women or focuses on non-cardiology providers (and their trainees) who have the need to know more about treatment of cardiovascular disease in women.

Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge, Awareness, Perceived Risk, and Hormonal Contraceptive Use Among Female College Students

Book Description
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for men and women of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Over the past 20 years, women have experienced greater levels of CVD mortality compared to men, and specific risk factors for CVD have been identified that are unique to women, including the use of hormonal contraceptives (Corrao et al., 1990; Roger et al., 2011). However, previous research has not addressed knowledge of CVD among college-aged hormonal contraceptive users. Therefore, this cross-sectional study assessed knowledge, awareness, and perceived risk of CVD among college-aged hormonal contraceptive users and non-users through the administration of an online questionnaire. Questionnaires were emailed to all 8,525 undergraduate female students and 658 completed the questionnaire (13% response rate). Of the 658 submissions, 500 met all of the qualification criteria and were used in the final data analysis. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and one-way ANOVA were performed to analyze the data. An alpha level of .05 was used for all analyses. The sample (n = 500) had a mean age of 20.56 (± 1.44), 79.4% were White, and 58.6% were hormonal contraceptive users. Half (49.2%) of participants correctly identified CVD as the leading cause of death for women. The average CVD knowledge score was 53.4%, and perceived susceptibility and perceived severity of CVD were low (M = 11.4 and 13.2 respectively). The women in this study worried twice as much about breast cancer in comparison to CVD. Moreover, hormonal contraceptive users who smoked had significantly higher knowledge scores than the non-users who were non-smokers, p = .001. Results from this study add to the body of research showing low CVD knowledge and awareness among young women. Additionally, the results from this study emphasize the importance of ensuring women are properly educated about CVD and the increased risk associated with hormonal contraceptive use. Increasing knowledge and awareness among young women may lead to the engagement in CVD preventative behaviors earlier in life, the safer use of hormonal contraceptives among all women, and further discourage women from initiating smoking.
