Can the cancer of the breast or even lung cancer? It certainly is some of the most feared diseases that a women can think of, but it is the biggest killer of women over 50 years old?
Surprisingly shows research and statistics that cancer is not the culprit in this case, no heart disease takes the credit for this one. We often think of ourselves as invulnerable to heart attacks and strokes, but if you are a woman in menopause phase of your life, then now is the time to pay attention.
According to research, women certainly has a very definable advantage compared to men in terms of cardiovascular disease, but we certainly catch up very quickly and by the age of 65 have the same risk of having a heart attack, stroke or other coronary disease as men do. Shocked by this age has us women a greater chance of dying from it.
Work and the physiological differences between men and women hearts only studied now, it became clear that these differences are literally killing us.We discuss the reasons:
1. women symptoms are different
A woman can never be sick as they are always to be ready for the spouse, children and for themselves, so they sometimes might feel a bit "under the weather" and can easily mistake these as normal aging or just exhausted. Many times cardiac disease is when a woman symptoms of cardiomyopathy is missed is different and more subtle. They could have the classic symptoms that are known by the dooming chest pain and it all known pain down the left arm, but not always as they can sometimes minimal disruption and no chest pain. Women will usually be the following brands when there is an underlying cardiovascular disease:
Profound fatigue
Difficulty breathing
Feeling dizzy
Nausea
Vomiting
That an impending sense of doom
Profuse sweating
Pain or discomfort in the neck or upper back, shoulder blade
Burning abdominal pain
2. consideration and response to treatment
When a woman is diagnosed with a heart disease or heart attack, they are treated with various medications as men. When women treated for cardiac disease, works the medication used not as effective with women as in men. It is shown that some anticoagulants just works better for men than women.
3. diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases
As the treadmill stress test and angiography normal test procedures typically used for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease are not useful to diagnose women from cardiovascular disease. An angiogram is used to determine the health of the blood vessels, but give false information in women a ship a significant plaque lining has clearly and therefore will appear. This happens when the plaque lining has not intruded in the vessel.
4. women "tough it out"
Nobody ever want to admit they are having a heart attack and usually try to convince themselves if they have symptoms of a heart attack that it's probably just indigestion or heartburn. Women tends to minimize the inconvenience of pain and a heart so long wait will admit they are having a heart attack and medical assistance.
Women also have a higher tolerance for cardiac pain and will therefore not experience it as painful as men. This sound may already be good, but it's not like it could mean that women with chest pain will not be treated as aggresively as in the case with men.
