  • Heart Disease & Gender: How Men and Women Differ

    Did you know that heart disease affects men differently than women? It's true. While we all may have the same heart muscle, research has shown over the years that heart disease has a much different effect on women than it does on men. So, what are these differences exactly? Here is a breakdown of several ways that this common condition can affect each gender:

    How does heart disease in women differ from heart disease in men?

    Heart disease has often been thought of as a problem that affects mostly men. However, more women than men die every year of heart disease.

  • Understanding and Preventing Heart Disease in Women

    Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing more deaths than all forms of cancer combined. “But the signs of heart disease in women can differ from those in men, so many women do not recognize when their heart is in danger,” says Maria Demori, MD, a cardiologist with Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute. Although chest pain is still the main symptom, women more often than men experience atypical symptoms such as:
