The Heart Disease


If you're like most people, you think that heart disease is a problem for other folks. But heart disease is the number one killer in the U.S. Heart disease can attack everyone. Heart Disease kills women and man.

If you’re women, you must be carefull about heart disease. Actually heart disease is the leading cause of death of women in the United States. In fact, heart disease kills almost twice as many women in the United States. A recent study shows that only 57% of women realize that heart disease is the one cause of death among women.

More statistics - There are differences between women and men in survival after a heart attack. 42% of women who have heart attacks will die within 1 year. However, only 24% of men who have a heart attack will die within 1 year. This may be because women usually get heart disease about 10 years later in life than men.

Many factors may contribute to heart disease.
Heart disease in men and women can be controlled and helped by control your cholesterol because high cholesterol is a top risk factor regarding heart disease in men and women., stop smoking, sport, and doing anything wih happy.
