Study shows increased heart attack risk for women

A new medical study has revealed a troubling new trend amongst young women.

Medical experts have found that the number of heart attack-related hospital admissions in the United States attributable patients within the 35 to 50 age range has climbed from steadily 27% in the 90’s to 32% as of 2014.

“Two of the biggest risk factors of cardio vascular infarction in the females in this group are diabetes and high blood pressure,” said Doctor Oscar Munoz, aDel Sol Medical Center physician. “If you have family history of early coronary disease, any relative with heart attacks in their 40s or mid 50s you should check your blood sugar for cholesterol and your blood pressure early in life.”

Although the threat extends to all females, women of color and minorities are at the highest risk.

Meanwhile, it has also been found that the same age group for men has actually seen a significant decrease in the same types of heart issues.

The symptoms of such an attack include shortness of breath, lightheadedness and discomfort in both or one arm, back neck, jaw.

It is also suggested that a persons family medical history can play a large role in their possible health issues.
