Abstract
A historical review of the literature demonstrates that women have lon g been acknowledged as suffering from cardiac disease and disorder Unt il recently women's experience with cardiac disease war investigated p rimarily as the cardiac disease impinged on pregnancy or womens abilit y to carry out home-related duties. Only in the last decade has a more appropriate and more holistic view of womens unique experience with c ardiac disease been undertaken The authors attribute this new perspect ive in health literature, in large pall, to the advancement of feminis t approach and critique.
