Serioulsy i've never heard of a woman have a heart attack.

I personally believe ( no disrespect) that women generally lead less stressfull lives. Could this be a factor?
Gambaree - That makes a lot of sense what you have just written.

I no of one , a freind of my mother's, she was 47....

Well women are less at risk of heart attacks because they have the hormone oestrogen.. and they have social support. unlike men who lock everything up inside and try and carry on dealing with they're problems.

yes , we can... my mum had one..

This is an extract from an article by The Texas Heart Institute:


'Cardiovascular diseases affect more women than men and heart attacks are generally more severe in women than in men. In the first year after a heart attack, women are more than 50 percent more likely to die than men – especially young women. In the first six years after a heart attack, women are almost twice as likely to have a second heart attack.'

I can DEFINITELY attest to the fact that women do have heart attacks...I've taken care of them when I worked in the clinical setting. We are blessed with a gender protection until we go through menopause, then our risk factors become almost identical to men's. Stress is a risk factor for heart attacks, but not a major one.

ocht what rubbish. Of course women have heart attacks. Mostly caused by the men in our lives! lol

a female very close to me had a fatal heart attack. yes, women suffer from them as well as men.

Silly person, of course women can suffer heart attacks. Believe me a womans life is very stressfull.

Plenty of women have heart attacks , and as for us leading les stressful lives you must be joking!!!!!!!!!!


edit;
If you`re married ask your wife to answer this!!!
