Heart disease used to be considered a “man’s disease.” But while rates are declining in men, they’re rising in women.

Much of what we know about heart disease comes from research on men, which means that 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱.

Women’s hearts, risk factors and symptoms can all be different. While both men and women often feel sharp and crushing chest pain leading up to a heart attack, many women also experience:

⚠️ extreme fatigue,
⚠️ an ache in the upper back and stomach
⚠️ shortness of breath

Because their symptoms are less specific, they are harder to recognize as danger signs. This can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment.
