A heart attack, also known as a heart attack, is a major cause of mortality in various countries. For many years there was the myth that men were most endangered by heart attack, but it is just as common in women. In fact, according to a recent study, they seek specialized help much later. Women with heart attacks (and chest pains) wait more than men to announce the emergency, an average of 37 minutes more.
The news releases a research published in the European Heart Journal, carried out by Matthias Meer, cardiologist at Zurich's Triemli Hospital. Females and males have a similar risk of heart attack, even though the risk of women increases after 50.
The symptoms may also be different because females can often suffer from back pain, shoulder pain, stomach pain, rather than classic chest pain, and left arm. Experts have studied 4360 cases of cardiac attack involving 967 female and 3 393 males during the period from 2000-2016. In a study of cases, it has been found that females wait 37 minutes longer than men before contacting health services.
The chest pain causes men to seek help immediately, but that's not for women. It seems that women are less likely to think about a heart attack when they have a chest pain, unlike men seeking an emergency intervention,”- explains Beyer.
