Compared To Men, Symptoms Of Heart Disease In Women Are Harder To Recognize

JAKARTA - Heart disease is the most fatal disease that can attack various ages. From children to adults and based on studies women are more susceptible to heart disease than men and the symptoms are harder to spot. Why would that be?

Women who do not pay attention and lead a healthy lifestyle are thought to be more susceptible to cardiovascular disease. Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, director of cardiovascular prevention, health and well-being at Mount Sinai in New York, said women tend to pay less attention to themselves.

Reported from Time, more heart disease died and was suffered by women after the late 1980s. Before 1987, more men had heart disease. Based on data in 2017, the number of heart patients both women and men is almost the same.

After the late 80s, women experienced more stress, stress, and tension, triggering heart problems. Women working plus doing homework and various other tasks are often signaled to be the cause even though it has not been clinically proven.

Sharonne Hayes, founder of the Mayo Clinic Women's Heart Clinic in the United States, said that the prevalence of dying from heart disease is higher than that of breast cancer. In fact, according to him while attending cardiology training in the 1980s is very rare.

Director of the Barbra Streisand Smidt Heart Instritute Women's Heart Center in Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, Dr. Noel Bairey Merz explained that women need to know the symptoms of heart disease. Because, the symptoms that appear are different than those experienced by men.

Heart disease attacks in women are softer. Even if you feel pain in the chest is often considered common or stomach acid only.

According to Merz, women often experience nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath than men with heart disease. In addition to recognizing symptoms that feel uncomfortable and indicating heart disease, women also need to pay attention to their bodies, Merz said.

Dr. dr. Sally Nasution, Internal Medicine Specialist and Cardiovascular Consultant at RSUP Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo said that death from coroner's heart in women is 10 times higher than breast cancer.

In a study that looked at 515 women with heart coroners, 43 percent did not experience chest pains. While a total of 58 percent experienced symptoms similar to ulcers and 43 percent only felt exhausted.

Well, if you experience something wrong with the health of your body, it would be wise to check with the experts. Because, the sooner it is known the cause, the sooner it gets the solution.
