protecting benefits of estrogen. The result is a steep increase in
heart disease and death. Women need to educate themselves on the risks
of this deadly disease and play an active role in their own heart
health.

It is not all bad news. Medical discoveries are paving the way to
better preventive treatments. A recent landmark study investigated a
new treatment for both men and women with coronary disease who are
what cardiologists consider 'low-risk' but nevertheless are dying even
though they feel quite well until a few days before they die. This
important international study, EUROPA, provides compelling evidence
that heart attacks and death can be significantly reduced in patients
