Women's health. Coronary heart disease and the risk to women.
Coronary heart disease is now known to be the biggest killer of women in the UK, with one in four deaths a direct result of CHD. This paper looks at the factors that put women at increasing risk of early death or long-term illness. It examines the definitive report of the National Forum for Coronary Heart Disease Prevention and outlines recommendations for practice, policy-making and awareness-raising.
