Abstract
Atherosclerosis is largely preventable in women. Clinicians need to ap preciate the gender-associated risks of cardiovascular disease and emp hasize to their women patients that life-style changes can reduce card iovascular risk, However, newer oral agents for diabetes and the stati ns for hyperlipidemia are important pharmacological adjuncts.
