Women and Heart Disease “Heart disease isn’t just a man’s disease.” Heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are devastating to women. These are not just diseases affecting men. Coronary heart disease, which causes heart attack, is actually the leading cause of death for American women. This is surprising to most, since many women feel that cancer is more of a threat to them, particularly breast cancer. However, nearly twice as many women in the United States die of heart disease and stroke than from all forms of cancer, including breast cancer.
It is now known that heart attack symptoms in women can be different than those experienced by men. Many women experiencing a heart attack may not even be aware. Women tend to feel a burning sensation in their upper abdomen and may experience lightheadedness, an upset stomach, and sweating. Many women may ignore these symptoms that signify a heart attack because the typical pain felt in the left half of the chest during heart attack often does not occur in them.
