REFACE
Coronary Disease in Women: Evidence-Based Diagnosis and Treatment provides a
clinical management approach to the care of women with known or suspected coronary
artery disease. Whereas previous books on the subject have focused on gender-based
differences in the epidemiology of coronary disease as well as in gender bias in treatment,
this text focuses on the daily clinical management of women using an evidence-based
approach.
Because women’s health is also a critical issue to health care administrators, an increas-
ingly important decision maker in health care, additional chapters address managing
women’s health issues in our current era of managed care and organizing a women’s health
center. Topical issues on the effectiveness of using a gynecologist to diagnose or manage
coronary disease, as well as the cost effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment are also
included.
In the current health care era, there is an increased use of guidelines or pathways of care
that are developed within managed care organizations to deal with coronary artery dis-
ease.Coronary Disease in Women includes special management issues with women in
developing clinical pathways, including those of primary and secondary prevention of
coronary heart disease. Primary care physicians, including cardiologists, family practi-
tioners, and general internists should find this text both informative and timely.
