Should women worry?


I'm a woman. Am I at greater risk for cancer than coronary artery disease?

That's a huge misconception, as CAD is the #1 cause of death in women. We've worked so hard to bring breast cancer to the forefront that it's easy to see how this very serious disease has crept up on us. Plus, women as a rule tend to ignore their symptoms and go on about business. There are also differences in the symptoms between women and men as well as causes. For instance, men tend to develop a heart attack during exercise while women experience it more during times of stress or even at rest.
