CAD, the leading cause of heart attack, is the same process in men and women. Extra fats circulating in the blood are deposited in the walls of the heart’s arteries, forming deposits called plaques. When these plaques grow slowly, they become hard and gradually narrow the artery, interfering with blood flow. Despite this process, women have risk fa...
Heart failure in men is usually caused by damage from a heart attack that prevents the muscle from contracting as forcefully as it should. On the other hand, women are more likely to develop heart failure when high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease, or other conditions prevent their heart muscle from relaxing properly between beats. Women with...
Atrial fibrillation (AFib)is a condition that causes the heart to beat in an irregular, often rapid, rhythm. Recent studies have found that women with AFib have more symptoms, a worse quality of life, a higher likelihood of stroke, and worse outcomes than men. They also are more likely to be treated for AFib with catheter ablation, but more likely ...
