Are you female and feel like you are immune to the effects of Cardiovascular disease. Here are some sobering stats, come in and get screened! Women are 15 times more likely than men to die within the year following a heart attack. Women with angina have twice the morbidity and mortality as men with angina, even in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. 64% of women dying suddenly from heart disease had no prior symptoms. Women under 50 are three times as likely as men under 50 to die after a bypass operation. Marriage decreases cardiovascular risk in men, yet increases it in women (a frightening statistic, yet one that provides fodder for some excellent jokes).
