Nobody lived a healthier or more active life. She was the
juicing guru to the stars. She exercised and ate right. But
at forty-seven Pamela Serure, exhausted, in pain, and with
diagnoses ranging from menopause to anxiety, discovered that
she had heart disease. Lifestyle and diet couldn’t correct
what her genes had determined. With two days to get her
affairs in order, Pamela prepared for triple bypass surgery
to correct three almost completely clogged
arteries.
What the doctors missed and what most women
don’t seem to know is that heart disease is the number-one
killer of American women. It kills more women than all the
cancers combined. Traditional markers of heart disease, such
as high cholesterol, may not apply to women. As a result,
doctors consistently misdiagnose female patients with
anxiety, digestive distress, or symptoms of menopause.
Blindsided by her sudden bypass surgery, Pamela
Serure turned her life-altering experience into a personal
mission to help educate other women about this dangerous and
far-reaching disease. In this book Pamela opens the door to
her recovery process and tells readers what the doctors
won’t. She has found experts to offer advice so that readers
will know exactly what to look for and what tests to demand.
Women share stories of how they persisted in having the
cardiac tests run that saved their lives and others share
stories of women they lost because of a missed diagnosis.
Comforting, funny, and soulful, this is the book that will
empower women to take charge of their heart health. As
Pamela says, “These days heart disease has all my attention,
as it should have yours.”
