Heart
disease
is no longer considered a “men’s” disease. Before recent
studies, women on average received less aggressive treatment
for heart disease and were not referred to have diagnostic
testing performed as often.
Consequently, many women after finally being diagnosed with
heart disease had more advanced forms of the disease and their
prognosis was not as good as. Health professionals now know
that heart diseases affect more women than men and are
responsible for more than 40 percent of all deaths in American
women.
