However, we are confronted with the finding that women - hibit a higher mortality rate than men. In part, this difference can be explained by clinical parameters such as age, disease severity, or comorbidity – factors that have been well studied, but which do not fully explain the observed differences. This is one reason why, in recent years, psychosocial variables have attracted special atten- on in this context. In fact, women and men having undergone a bypass operation - ry a great deal with respect to, e. g. , depression, partner status, and socio-economic status. Moreover, psychological well-being, on the one hand, and social isolation, on the other hand, definitely influence the recovery process, particularly when consi- red under the gender aspect. The Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin has been actively supporting gender-specific research for many years. In this context, a large prospective study on gender dif- rences in recovery after bypass surgery, carried out by the Competence Network of Heart Failure, was started at our Department for Cardiothoracic and Vascular Sur- ry. From the beginning of the study, psychosocial variables were included as being substantial contributors. The starting point of the study presented here* by psychologist Dr. Friederike Kendel are recent empirical investigations about gender differences in coronary heart disease and the course of recovery after bypass surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Steinkopff\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2008-11-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783798518551\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-7985-1856-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 242cm x170cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 104\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Steinkopff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47381659877516,"sku":"9783798518551","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783798518551.jpg?v=1775747087","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783798518551","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
