Heart disease symptoms in women

Women’s most killer in the west is heart disease, actually heart disease kills more women than men. “Women are less likely to have a heart attack than men, despite heart attack emergence increases with age” said Dr. Vernon V. S. Bonarjee.
The researches tested the short- and long-term sex-related variations in survival between high-risk patients with heart attack. An overall of 5,477 subjects were followed for a mean of 2.7 years.
By comparing, women were older than men and they had more heart disease symptoms, high blood pressure and cholesterol. Moreover, women who were treated with clot-busting drugs were fewer.
A total of 619 men and 327 women died during the study. As mention, there were no differences between men and women in long-term survival, but the death rate in women was higher than men by 57%.
The usual symptoms of heart attack may be missing in women which leads to a late in treatment and, therefore the results are worse in women.
As the study found heart disease symptoms could be missing in women, so they should be careful and heart disease check regularly.
