Women''s Heart Health
Symptoms, treatment and closing the gender-care gapAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the No. 1 cause of death globally. WHO estimates 19.8 million people died from CVDs in 2022, 85% of those due to a heart attack or stroke. While traditional symptoms of a heart attack - chest pain, sometimes radiating to the arms, neck, jaw or back, shortness of breath, palpitations, nausea and lightheadedness - are frequently used in educational and other materials, those symptoms may not be representative of experiences for both males and females.
Females, with varying symptoms that are often undetected through surface-level testing, could be sent home by a physician with their concerns unaddressed. Or, even worse, sent home questioning the validity of those symptoms in the first place.
