520    From the Publisher: If you ask the average American what 
       the leading cause of mortality in women is, most would 
       probably guess breast cancer.  In fact, heart disease is 
       the #1 killer of women, and more women die each year from 
       heart disease than men.  Moreover, the symptoms of heart 
       problems in women are very different from those in men, 
       making detection more difficult.  In this invaluable and 
       engaging guide to the woman's heart, two leading heart 
       specialists focus on the unique factors affecting women's 
       cardiovascular health.  Writing in language that is 
       completely accessible to the general reader, they provide 
       crucial, potentially life-saving information and guidance 
       to help women monitor their own heart health.  Among the 
       topics discussed in clear, easy-to-follow language are: In
       what ways is a woman's heart different from a man's?  How 
       do pregnancy and childbirth affect the heart and 
       circulation?  What are the symptoms of heart disease in 
       women?  What are the most prevalent diseases of the heart 
       among women-including mitral valve prolapse-and how 
       dangerous are they really?  What cardiac tests should 
       women be taking?  When are medications enough and when is 
       surgery necessary?  How is the heart affected by menopause
       and aging?  What are the future prospects for improving 
       heart health and treatment for women?  For both healthy 
       women and those already coping with heart disease, this 
       comprehensive "owner's manual" on the female heart 
       provides essential information for living life to its 
       fullest.
