Women and Heart Disease
Description
Heart disease used to be thought of as a man's disease, but the reality is that more women die from first heart attacks than men. In addition, heart disease can have different symptoms in women, symptoms other than the classic chest pain that has been so well publicized over the years. In this program, experts explain why women and men are equally at risk for heart attacks, and they look at how hormone therapy can increase that risk in women. They also talk with patients who have discovered ways to lower their risk of having a heart attack.
