A study conducted in Singapore revealed that women have a higher risk of heart disease than men.
It has also been found that there are many differences between the heart of women and the heart of men.
A woman’s heart is more than a man’s heart…
– 1/4 smaller
-Ejects extra blood in one heartbeat
– Palpitations
– Also has different rhythmic patterns
– Contains small amounts of cardiac muscle cells
– Highly compressible
– Heart rate may increase rapidly
According to the SingHealth website, one in three Singaporean women die of heart disease. That’s more than the number of deaths from breast cancer.
What happens to women’s hearts as they age?
– There is a great fall in the muscle size and efficiency of the heart
– Absorption capacity of blood decreases
It is said that the risk of heart disease is lower in people with high levels of estrogen in the body.
Women lose their natural defenses against heart disease once they stop menstruating permanently.
According to the 2020 National Population Health Survey, heart failure affects women more than men.
Sometimes the symptoms of heart disease are not obvious and it can be difficult to diagnose the disease.
So it is important for women to recognize the symptoms and manage their heart health.
