Did you know Men and Woman have different signs of heart attacks!

Keep Him Alive

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for North America 1 in every 4 male deaths,(1) killing more men than all forms of cancer combined.

Heart disease is also the leading cause of death most racial/ethnic groups in North America.(2)

Half of the men who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms.(3)

Men often report physical exertion prior to heart attacks

Keep Her Alive

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for North American women accounting for 1 in every 4 female deaths(1) killing more women than all forms of cancer combined.(4) Heart disease is also the leading cause of death among young women.

No longer a “man’s disease,” more women than men now die of heart disease each year. Only 54% of women recognize that heart disease is their number 1 killer.(2)

Almost 65% of women who die suddenly of coronary heart have no previous symptoms.(3) 90% of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.

Women often report emotional stress prior to heart attacks

*Women might not experience the chest pain that is often noted as the most common sign of heart attack. If you have high blood sugar (diabetes) you may have no symptoms or very mild ones but your condition can be just as serious.

General statistics

Since its inception, the American Heart Association (AHA) has lead efforts in research, prevention and treatment of heart disease, providing knowledge-based solutions for people of all ages.

These statistics are used by health researchers, clinicians, healthcare policy makers, media professionals and consumers, serving as a major source for monitoring the cardiovascular health of the wider population. Here are some of the latest findings.

American Heart Association

NO SYMPTOMS

Some people have silent CHD with no prior signs or symptons

Doctors, espicially Cardiologists maintain that “you are only as old as your areries”. They know that arterial aging wears out your brain, heart, kidneys and other organs as well as causing damage to hearing and eyesight.

“75% of patients hospitalized for a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels” (American Heart Journal, January 2009).

If cholesterol tests are not accuratley predicting my risk of a heart attack then what tests should I consider?

Coronary Calcium Score (CAC) Scan:

Getting to the heart of the matter isn’t that difficult if you know what tests to get. The gold standard test is the coronary calcium scan. This is the test that insurance companies use to determine your health status and their risk status. Why do they use this test? Because there are no false positives – they can actually see if there is calcium build-up in your arteries. Something that cholesterol tests cannot do.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Blood Test:

This important enzyme is a biomarker of oxidative stress that is released when arteries and blood vessels are injured and inflammed. This is a much more targeted test for arterial health than cholesterol tests or C-Reactive protein. It is an independent indicator of the presence of vulnerable arterial plaques that increase a person’s risk for heart attack. For this reason it is considered a pre-event marker and high levels mean a potential plaque burst which can create a heart attack causing blood clot. This test was created by a team of Cleveland Clinic researchers based on a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association which showed that those with high levels of MPO in the blood had a dramatically greater risk of cardiovascular disease than patients who had the lowest levels.

What the outdated cholesterol test does do is provide a basis for recommending Statin drugs which could also be killing you!

Dr. Okuyama, of Nagoya City University reports: “We have collected a wealth of information on cholesterol and statins from many published papers and find overwhelming evidence that these drugs accelerate hardening of the arteries and can cause, or worsen, heart failure. I cannot find any evidence to support people taking statins and patients who are on them should stop”(5).

Dr. Peter Langsjoen, a heart specialist in Texas warns: “Statins are being used so aggressively and in such large numbers of people that the adverse effects are now becoming obvious. These drugs should never have been approved for use. The long-term effects are devastating.”

Dr. Langsjoen conducted research on 50 patients who discontinued taking statin drugs. Instead they supplemented with Coenzyme Q10 and the research team saw no adverse consequences(6).

A nationwide study conducted in 2009 by the University of California School of Medicine (USA) found that “75% of patients hospitalized for a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels”(American Heart Journal, January 2009).

The Lancet (prestigious British Medical Journal) in 1994 reported that most individuals with coronary artery disease have normal cholesterol levels!

The famous Framingham study shows that ‘Our rush to lower total cholesterol levels may have been in error’. To cite the Framingham authors: “For each 1 mg/dl decrease of cholesterol level in blood, there was an 11 percent increase in coronary and total mortality.“(In other words, low cholesterol level actually increased the death rate).
