Fifty thousand women die of heart attacks in the United States. The American Heart Association has recently also issued a statement that many women heart patients who are less handled. According to them, one of them is because heart attacks are more often associated with men, obese, and the elderly.
But the fact is not at all like that.
When you imagine someone having a heart attack, most likely you would imagine someone experiencing unbearable pain in his chest. But, a marker of heart attacks in women can be much more subtle than in men, quoted from the Prevention,
Although women with heart attacks will continue to feel pain or pressure in the center of his chest, surprisingly, women who have heart attacks will also feel the pain in his jaw.
Other markers specific only in women is pain in the upper back, pain in the arms, fatigue intense, heartburn, or
simply "feel bad," said Laxmi Mehta, MD, clinical director of the Women's Cardiovascular Health Program at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center, and lead author of the statement issued by the American Heart Association (AHA) earlier.
According to the AHA, if the heart does not give a good signal, the pain may spread to the jaw, neck, or back. However, according to Mehta doctors still do not know why the spread of pain was only in women, and not in men.
Why are people with heart disease women less handled?
According to the AHA, most women wait until about 54 hours before visiting a doctor, while men usually just wait for 16 hours before check-up.
"Women have a tendency to lack of awareness of the risks of their base," said Mehta. "They are also generally more passive (about their health)." And at the same time they also have more barriers to receiving treatment, such as the need to take care of the child.
Mehta later confirmed, the longer you delay treatment, the worse the condition of your heart. "Women tend to experience cardiogenic shock," which means, your heart suddenly can not pump enough blood. If you wait too long, aggressive treatment may be useful.
Women of all ages are at risk of heart disease. And according to Mehta, although not known why, the young woman who suffered a heart attack is usually more severe than young men. Those who have type 2 diabetes or the higher the blood pressure the most risky.
