Women &
Beating Heart Bypass
 When
it comes to women and heart disease, there are some troubling findings
of recent years. We know now that:
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women.
- It kills more women than cancer, accidents and diabetes combined.
- Heart disease is the cause of death for one out of every three women,
and it kills more women than men.
- When women have heart disease, they are more likely to die from the
disease than men are.
Heart disease is not just a man's disease
Certainly heart disease is not solely a man's disease, nor should it be
treated as one in terms of research, prevention, detection, or
treatment.
