Cardiovascular disease in women is an integral area of research in the ongoing studies of women's health. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an umbrella term for a wide range of diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, including but not limited to, coronary artery disease, stroke, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarctions, and aortic aneurysms.
The rise in heart attack rates has been steepest among young women, some research suggests. From 1995 to 2014, hospitalizations for heart attacks in women between ages 35 and 54 rose from 21% to ...
The findings were presented at Heart Failure 2023, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology. "We are currently writing the manuscript to publish the article in a peer-reviewed ...
The list is based on CIA World Factbook 2023 estimates, unless indicated otherwise. Many developing countries have far higher proportions of young people, and lower proportions of older people, than some developed countries, and thus may have much higher age-specific mortality rates while having lower crude mortality rates.
Therapeutic radiation increases the risk of a subsequent heart attack or stroke by 1.5 to 4 times; [74] the increase depends on the dose strength, volume, and location. Use of concomitant chemotherapy, e.g. anthracyclines, is an aggravating risk factor. [75] The occurrence rate of RT induced cardiovascular disease is estimated between 10% and ...
Women’s heart health may decline precipitously after going through menopause, a new study suggests. On average, men are more likely to have a heart attack at a younger age.
The following is a list of the causes of human deaths worldwide for different years arranged by their associated mortality rates. In 2002, there were about 57 million deaths. In 2005, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), about 58 million people died. [1]
In 2016, a study found that women have a 50 per cent higher chance than men of receiving a misdiagnosis after a heart attack, while researchers found in 2014 that 33 per cent of women are more ...
