Dr. Heward shares why women should be more concerned about heart disease than breast cancer.
Dr. Heward:
The reason that women should be more concerned about heart disease than breast cancer is because more women die of heart disease than breast cancer. As a culture, we tend to associate heart disease with men only because men get heart disease earlier than women. Why is that, you suppose? We don’t have estrogen. But as soon as women reach menopause and estrogen goes away, the incidents of heart disease skyrockets and, just as in men, heart disease is the number one killer of women. So, it seems reasonable that women should be more concerned about their biggest risk, and that’s heart disease, far more than breast cancer.
