Typeset by Stallion Press Email: [email protected] Printed in Singapore “6x9” b1886 Woman and Cardiovascular Disease Dedication This book is dedicated to the women in my life. My wife and daughter inspire me on a daily basis. They have endured countless days of writing and revising manuscripts and have supported me throughout my journey to completion. It is my hope that this book will educate and engage others and ultimately improve cardiovascular care for women all over the world. My daughter, Bek, designed and created the cover art for this book. As one of millions of people throughout the world with type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes, she battles chronic disease on a daily basis and handles all of the challenges diabetes brings with a maturity beyond her years as well as a quiet grace. This book is my gift to Bek — when I am no longer here to advocate for her, it is my hope that there will be healthcare professionals that are armed with the information they need to aggressively treat and prevent needless cardiovascular deaths and disease in women. Moreover, I hope that this book will serve to engage and motivate other women to take control of their own heart health. v bb11888866__FFMM..iinndddd vv 0055--0099--22001144 1111::0011::5544 May2,2013 14:6 BC:8831-ProbabilityandStatisticalTheory PST˙ws TThhiiss ppaaggee iinntteennttiioonnaallllyy lleefftt bbllaannkk “6x9” b1886 Woman and Cardiovascular Disease About the Artist Bek Campbell is a middle-school student in Raleigh, NC.
