It's heart disease. In fact, each
year nearly twice as many women die of cardiovascular disease as
from all forms of cancer. But it doesn't have to affect you. Start
by asking doctor these 9 critical questions:
1. What are
my risk factors for heart disease, and what can I do to lower my
risk?
2. What are
the warning signs of heart disease or heart attack?
3. What should
I know about the effects of menopause on my health?
4. What is
my blood pressure, cholesterol and body mass index?
5. What is
the best way for me to quit smoking?
6. Are my
risk factors for heart disease the same or different for stroke?
7. What is
the latest on low-dose aspirin for heart attack prevention and treatment?
8. If I experience
chest pain, what is your overall plan for evaluation?
9. If I experience
symptoms of a heart attack, which hospital in the community is the
best to go to?
