@Men have larger hearts; women’s hearts beat faster. @ Heart disease presents differently in men and women: men feel a crashing pain in their chest; women experience fleeting pain in the upper abdomen, shortness of breath, and sweating. @ When a woman reaches menopause, her risk for cardiovascular disease increases four-fold. @The electrical system of the heart is different in men and women: women have faster heart rates and a different electrocardiogram than men. @The time for the heart to return to baseline after a beat is longer for women than men. @ Men who are diagnosed with heart disease are typically ten years younger than women. @ In general, coronary artery disease strikes men almost two decades earlier than it does women; most men with coronary artery disease are dead by the time they are 65. @Sudden cardiac death (death within an hour of the onset of symptoms) is more common in males. @Women are more likely to develop abnormally rapid heart rates, particularly in association with their menstrual periods. @ Fifty nine percent of women but only 39% of men have strokes associated with high blood pressure. @ Women are susceptible to potentially lethal arrythmias when they take some of the very medication that stabilize rhythm in men.
