Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, and a wide array of factors go into determining a woman’s heart health. Medical care doesn't always connect these factors, however. |
Today, the American Heart Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine issued a new framework for cardiovascular health in girls and women. |
“This framework gives clinicians a shared approach to cardiovascular disease prevention across specialties, interconnected areas of health, and life stages,” writes Dr. Sadiya S. Khan, a preventive cardiologist and one of the authors of the new approach, in her new piece for TIME. |
Peek behind the scenes of the new guidelines, below. |

The revenge trap |
Someone cuts you off in traffic. You lay on the horn, make a certain hand gesture, or fantasize about returning the favor. That'll show them! Except, as I recently learned from psychologist Ryan Martin, an expert on anger, getting even might leave you feeling worse than doing nothing at all. —Angela Haupt |

Why does getting revenge feel so appealing in the moment? |
We find revenge very pleasant in theory. We want to get it, and we're driven toward it, even neurologically. When someone does something that makes us angry, we want to get back at them. But research suggests that when we actually get revenge, we often make ourselves less happy in the long run. |
Why would getting even make us feel worse? |
Imagine you're driving and someone cuts you off. You could do nothing and go on with your life, or you could get revenge—honk at them, ride up on their bumper, or cut them off. If you do nothing, chances are that in a week, you've forgotten all about it. But if you retaliate, you've turned it into something much bigger. |
How does retaliating make it a bigger deal? |
There's no way for your future self to claim it was a minor transgression anymore. You've done something that potentially put your life in jeopardy to get revenge. Now you've made a minor incident into a major event that you're going to remember for a long time. |
So what should we do when we're tempted to get even? |
Think about your goal. When I'm driving, my goal is to get to my destination safely. Laying on the horn because I'm angry, cutting someone off, or giving them the finger doesn't help me accomplish that. Sometimes we have to fight the urge for revenge and focus on what's actually best for us. |

Respiratory virus season is, alas, upon us. Flu appears to be here early this year, with the number of flu infections already “growing” in most U.S. states, according to recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data. |
The annual flu vaccine is recommended for everyone 6 months and older. The RSV vaccine is recommended for older adults, as well as some pregnant women and some infants. —Dominique Mosbergen |
