That s right, not breast cancer but heart disease. Not only is heart disease the leading killer of men but women as well. Studies estimate that 1 in 2 women will die of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease includes heart disease and stroke. Heart disease usually affects women in a very swift and dramatic fashion.
Women are more likely than men to die from heart attack and to suffer a second heart attack.
Symptoms Women and men both develop heart disease but the classic symptoms that men experience are not the same for a woman. Since these signs are more subtle, often they are unrecognized as a warning that the heart is in trouble. Do not try to self-diagnose. If you feel you are having a heart attack, call an ambulance to take you to the emergency room. Providing quality care for women in a personalized environment.
