Heart Disease And Stroke by Haykaybiz: 6:32pm On Apr 10, 2011 |
Heart disease isn't just a man's disease. Heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases are devastating to women, too. In fact, coronary heart disease, which causes heart attack, is the single leading cause of death for Nigeria women. Many women believe that cancer is more of a threat, but they're wrong. Nearly twice as many women in the Nigeria die of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases as from all forms of cancer, including bosom cancer. What are the risk factors for heart disease and stroke that you can't control? •Increasing age — As women grow older, their risk of heart disease and stroke begins to rise and keeps rising of stroke. •Previous heart attack or stroke with age. •Sex (Gender) — Men have a greater risk of heart attack than women, and they have attacks earlier in life. Each year about 55,000 more women than men have strokes, and about 60 percent of total stroke deaths occur in women. •Heredity (family history) — Both women and men are more likely to develop heart disease or stroke if their close blood relatives have had them. Race is also a factor. Black women have a greater risk of heart disease and stroke than white women. Compared with whites, African-American men and women are more likely to die or TIA — Women who've had a heart attack are at higher risk of having a second heart attack; 22 percent of women ages 40 to 69 who survive a first heart attack will have another heart attack or fatal coronary heart disease within five years, and 22 percent ages 40 to 69 who survive a first stroke will have another within five years. A transient ischemic attack (TIA or "mini-stroke" also is a risk factor and predictor of stroke. Buy GNLD Healthy Heart Products Our Heart, Our Choice Choose to be better! |
