Myths About Women And Heart Disease
Ann DeVelasco, Registered Nurse with Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, says it is a myth that most women in America die from cancer, one in three women will die from heart disease.
She also points out there are a lot of young women who are getting heart disease today or being diagnosed with heart disease, and, more in younger women. She says the symptoms in women are different than in men: "I can say that there are many similarities in the way that your heart is affected, but the way that you get to that path, and the symptoms that bring you to treatment, are different."
