Abuse as a Gendered Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease: A Conceptual Model.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:: To better promote cardiovascular health among women and direct appropriate interventions, nurses need to understand the complex web by which abuse may increase the risk for CVD. In addition, nurses need to not only pay attention to an abuse history and symptoms of depression for women presenting with CVD symptoms but also address CVD risk among women with abusive histories.
