Men vs. Women: Do Heart Attack Symptoms Differ?
Women and men may come from Venus and Mars, but Heart Month should remind us all that we
have more in common than we might think -- particularly where our hearts are concerned.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in women and men worldwide.
One in three women will develop heart disease, and one in 17 will have a heart attack or be
hospitalized for heart disease. And, guys, the news isn't much better. More than one in three
adult men will also develop some form of heart disease.
But you can lower the odds of a potentially fatal heart attack. The sooner you're treated,
the healthier the recovery. Take a look at this list of heart attack signs and remember
that chest pain isn't always the only symptom -- especially for women.
