According toACLS, heart disease is the number one killer of the women in the United States, killing a four-year woman each year. And one of the reasons why it is so mortal is that women tend to ignore or minimize their heart attack symptoms until it is too late, as well as the fact thatThe symptoms of heart attack often differ for men and women.

Now, two new studies recently presented asA European Cardiology Congress Company (ESC) have discovered that women tend to call an ambulance for husbands, fathers and brothers with heart attack symptoms, but not for themselves.

The researchers analyzed the files of more than 7000 patients with a myocardial infarction elevation of the ST segment (STEMI) -a a serious form of heart attack where a main artery of blood feed to the heart is blocked, and what requires The opening of the artery within 90 minutes of diagnosis in the ambulance.

Overall, 45% of patients were treated within the recommended time, but fewer these patients were women. While 40% of men had their results of the ECG [the process of registering the electrical activity of the heart] transferred from the ambulance to a center of heart attack, the same goes for only 34% of the Women aged 54 and under 45%. For women 75 and over.

"One of the reasons women are less likely than men to be treated in the recommended period of time is because they take more time to call an ambulance when they have symptoms that's especially true for women more youth. In addition, ECG results for younger women are less often sent to the Cardiac Attack Center, which is recommended to accelerate the treatment "noted Professor Mariusz GąSID, The main researcher in the Polish register of acute coronary syndromes (PL-ACS). "Very often, women manage the house, send children to school and prepare for family celebrations. We hear again and again that these responsibilities delay women to call an ambulance if they feel symptoms of a heart attack."

The results led the researchers to campaign for women to take care of not only others, but also themselves before the International Women's Day on March 8, whose theme of this year is #BalanceForbetter. This is particularly crucial given thatRecent studies have shown that heart attacks are alarming upwards younger women.

"More efforts are needed to improve the logistics of prehospital heart attack in young women"Dr. Marek Gierlotka, Registry coordinator, said. "Greater awareness should be promoted among medical staff and the general public that women, even young women, also have heart attacks. Women are more likely to have atypical signs and symptoms, which can contribute a delay in the request for medical assistance. "
