Heart Health In Women

Heart Disease Leading Cause Of Death!!

What’s special about women?

• Women are twice as likely to die if they have a heart attack, than a man

• Women’s heart attacks are often missed/misdiagnosed

• Disproportionate of heart attacks happen at 9 am Monday morning

• Many women don't recognize or believe they are having a heart attack

• Heart attacks present differently in women:

1.  Neck, jaw or arm pain (or no pain)

2.  Panicky or uneasy feeling

3.  Shortness of breath

4.  General discomfort or tightness in chest

5.  Sweating

6.  Any of the above, exacerbated by exertion or stress

Why are heart attacks more deadly in women?

•  Women have smaller blood vessels with thinner walls (fragile)

•  Emergency room staff and medical professionals often miss the diagnosis due to unusual/mild symptoms

•  Women, often too busy to go to the doctor, may endure pain/discomfort in silence.
