Carolyn Thomas ; foreword by Martha Gulati

Heart disease kills more women every year than all forms of cancer combined. Recovering from a major heart attack, Thomas wrote this book based on her own experience and the experiences of other women with the disease, compiled through blog posts and Thomas's experiences as a participant at Mayo Clinic's medical conference on women's heart disease. She explains how to recognize the early signs, explains why so many women are misdiagnosed, and covers to what to expect during your recovery

The first signs -- Deadly delay -- Finally, a correct diagnosis -- The new country called heart disease -- Depressing news about depression and heart disease -- I'm what a person with an invisible illness looks like -- One-downmanship : you think you have pain -- On being a good patient -- The new normal -- Making peace with an errant organ
