AB According  to  the  American  Heart  Association,  more  than  42  million  women  are  affected  with  some  form  of  cardiovascular  disease  that  is  responsible  for  2,935,000  hospitalizations  and  419,730  deaths  every  year  (Roger).1  This  is  about  1  death  per  minute  among  women,  which  makes  cardiovascular  disease  the  leading  cause  of  death  in  US  women  nationally  (Roger).1  Heart  disease  causes  more  deaths  in  women  than  cancer,  lung  disease,  and  Alzheimer  disease  combined  (Roger).1  Coronary  artery  disease,  valvular  heart  disease,  congestive  heart  failure,  and  aortic  aneurysms  account  for  the  majority  of  cardiovascular  disease  and  related  deaths  in  women  (Roger).1  Cardiac  surgery  is  an  effective  treatment  for  many  patients  afflicted  with  these  disorders.
