5/1/2010 1:49:01 AM     2/8/2010 3:11:09 PM As for the person who feels the new administration needs to put on there endorsement, my statement is this. The book is wonderful. And a few more up to date stats would be nice, but it is costly to make changes and go for a new print. Lets leave politics out of this and just go with the facts...we would all be better served if politics would stay out of this completely...     11/24/2009 12:39:12 AM I have used this material for 3 years also, as another reviewer mentioned and, yes, it is excellent as a teaching tool and for it’s timeless information. However, since we have a new President in the White House, it seems tacky to not have revamped it to accomodate this change. I cannot imagine Michelle Obama or Jill Biden not being agreeable to put their influence and name into this campaign for women’s heart health. I wish you could do a quick do-over but please consider it for next year. Nothing has changed except the better statistics in six years. It is time to stop resting on your laurels and reinvigorate this worthwhile endeavor.     7/1/2008 2:20:41 PM Having just been diagnosed with premature menopause at 39 years old, I am earnestly searching for what problems I might be facing with my decreased estrogen. Increased risk for heart disease is one of them, and I am searching for everything I can find on risk factors, modifiable or not. This is a easy and quick read. I would think that insurance companies would want to include this in their new member packages if applicable. Thanks for providing this important information.     5/29/2008 10:44:23 AM This is the definitive source on women and their problems with hearts.     5/21/2008 12:32:33 PM I ordered this material 3 years ago. I have used it to teach school staff, my friends at church, anyone who will listen. I have gotten art teachers in the school to do poster contests, with the posters being displayed during Feb. A really great resource!     1/2/2008 10:46:13 PM     5/6/2007 9:37:11 AM I was nervous about some symptoms and was so glad to be able to quickly get information concerning heart attack and stroke for women. I intend to follow up with my doctor but most important I am now making LIFE CHANGES so that these symptoms will no longer be an issue. I want to thank you for freely giving out this information. It is truly life saving and and eye opener.
