Yes, women’s cardio-vascular disease 

is often under-treated or un-diagnosed, but this is changing  . . .

  
42% of women who have a heart attack die
 within one year compared to 24% of men. (AHA, 2005)

Currently, the outcome for women and cardio-vascular disease is disappointing.  

This is in part because the management and diagnosis of women’s
cardiovascular risks and disease is evolving.

Additionally, the role of estrogen

and cardiovascular function is also an emerging field.

 
 Women‘s cardio-vascular outcomes is also disappointing because
there is often a lack of communication among the medical community regarding
up to date research outcomes for women’s cardio-vascular disease
 prevention, initiation, progression and regression.

As such, for many women their cardio-vascular risk factors are
under treated and cardio-vascular disease is un-diagnosed or misdiagnosed.

Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack by 92% 

Women’s cardio-vascular outcomes are also disappointing
because women are not actively engaged in meaningful disease prevention.

Inadequate prevention and the aging of the United States population results in the
cardiovascular disease-related deaths of more than 500,000 American women every year.
Early and meaningful prevention is most effective.

 
Women with diabetes have more than double the risk

of heart attack than non-diabetic women.

Women with hypertension experience a 3.5 times greater risk of
developing coronary heart disease than women with normal blood pressure.

Excess weight is a significant contributing factor for
the development diabetes and high blood pressure.

It is estimated, six out of ten heart attacks are preventable.
Understanding and applying the information presented throughout this sanctuary,
such as reducing salt intake, and increasing intake of potassium rich foods
to moderate blood pressure, and taking steps to increase HDL cholesterol
will significantly lessen the risk of heart attack by 92%.
