Post subject: Heart Attack
|

|
Each year, more than 240,000 women die of heart disease Heart attack is twice as deadly in women as in men – a man faces a five to six percent chance of dying after a heart attack; for a woman, the likelihood is between 11 and 12 percent
38 percent of women who have heart attacks die within a year, compared with 25 percent of men
Approximately 35 percent of heart attacks in women go unnoticed or unreported – this is partly because some women and their doctors don’t always take heart attack symptoms seriously, and partly because women’s symptoms may be more subtle than men’s
64% of women who died suddenly of CHD had no previous symptoms of this disease
Within 6 years after a recognized heart attack, 35% of women will have another heart attack vs. 18% of men
