The biggest achievement of the last century is greater longevity, that has resulted in an increasing aged population worldwide. It is obvious that women have to live significant part of their lives after menopause. The risk of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and cancer increase after menopause. The advantage of increased longevity is only when it is translated into healthy aging. As women transition through menopause, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) significantly increase - yet many remain unaware of the connection between menopause and heart health. The book "Nurturing Wellness: The Path to Postmenopausal Heart Disease Awareness" delves into this often-overlooked aspect of women's health, providing readers with the knowledge to safeguard their well-being. Key points: Menopause is a universal and natural event in women's life. Menopause is inevitable but we can make it easy and equally beautiful by understanding it. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is number one killer in women especially after menopause, cancer being second. Women can develop heart disease at any age, but the risk increases after menopause, usually after 55 years of age. While average age for heart attack is 64.5 years for men and 70.3 years for women, but nearly 20% of those who die of heart disease are under the age of 65 years. Studies have shown that estrogen deficiency in menopause is an added risk factor to cardiovascular disease other than the risk factors common to both genders. Additionally, there are some nontraditional women-specific risk factors for CVD such as pregnancy complications, polycystic ovarian disease, autoimmune diseases and age at menarche. This book explores critical topics such as: Importance of heart health in postmenopausal women. Basic anatomy and physiology of cardiovascular system. The physiological hormonal changes that occur during menopause which are responsible for increased risk of CVD. Traditional risk factors of CVD common to both genders. Women-specific risk factors for CVD, including hormonal deficiency, especially estrogen deficiency during menopause and pregnancy complications during reproductive phase. Widespread misconceptions about postmenopausal heart disease. Practical advice on lifestyle changes, such as diet, exercise and stress management, is provided to empower women to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease after menopause. Written by an experienced gynecologist, "Nurturing Wellness: The Path to Postmenopausal Heart Disease Awareness" is an invaluable resource for women navigating menopause, healthcare professionals and anyone invested in understanding the complexities of cardiovascular disease post-menopause. With clear explanations, evidence-based insights, and actionable steps, this book is a must-have for women ready to take control of their heart health post-menopause. With healthy lifestyle and better understanding of cardiovascular health during menopause transition, not only years will be added to increase the lifespan, but the extra years added will be of good quality. Start your journey with a healthier heart today. DR. DINESH KANFADE MBBS, DGO, DFP, FICMCH, CIMP. Sr. Obstetrician & Gynecologist
