Attention women, your heart needs care

Obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are common risk factors for heart disease in both men and women.

However, additional factors may play a more significant role in the development of heart disease in women. For example, smoking poses a greater risk for women than for men. Additionally, a lack of physical activity remains a major contributor to heart disease. Stress and depression may also have a more profound impact on women's heart health compared to men. Women with diabetes not only have a higher likelihood of developing heart disease than men, but they also face an increased risk of experiencing a silent heart attack.
