Springer Biology of Womens Heart Health - Advances in Biochemistry

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality for both men and women globally. It has now surpassed cancer as the primary cause of death for women. While research has established clear symptoms and risk factors for men, a significant gap remains regarding how these conditions affect women specifically. This volume, part of the Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease series, addresses the urgent need for innovative research to bridge this gender gap. By focusing on the biological mechanisms unique to women, this book provides a foundation for improved early diagnosis and more effective treatment strategies. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the biochemical complexities of women's cardiovascular health and helps move the medical field toward more equitable healthcare outcomes.
