Abstract
Although coronary artery disease (CAD) is often viewed as a male affliction, women are not immune. As the population ages, the risk of CAD in postmenopausal women continues to grow as a public health concern. Dr Leaf provides guidelines for the identification and management of CAD risk factors in women.Keywords
