When it comes to the sexes, a heart attack is a heart attack, right? The short answer is no. The differences between men and women are not just the obvious ones. They can be as subtle as how they feel in the weeks prior to having a heart attack. The distinctions can also been seen in how women are treated in the emergency room. It is only in the last 50 years that we have seen women treated for heart failure and even more recently that we have seen women included in studies of heart disease. In essence, what is known about women and heart failure is a study in progress.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one killer of people in our country. The group estimates that for the 2.3 million people who will die this year, an astonishing 41 percent will be from heart conditions.

Isn’t that one of the most sobering things you’ve ever read? I mean, I realize that heart disease claims many lives every year—but almost half of those who die?

In addition, the association’s website: www.americanheart.org states that 59 million Americans are currently living with some form of heart disease.
