Why not ALL heart disease?

Women have heart attacks usually at an older age than men, most probably during the post-menopausal period, because the levels of estrogen plummet, and estrogens are hormones that protect against atherosclerosis. That being said, before menopause, women have much lower risk to have a heart attack than men,because of the estrogen protection against coronary heart disease. After menopause, the rates of heart attack in men and women and pretty much similar.

However, a woman's symptoms are often different from a man's, and she's much more likely than a man to die within a year of having a heart attack. Women also don't seem to fare as well as men do after taking clot-busting drugs or undergoing certain heart-related medical procedures.

Also, diabetes increases the risk of heart disease in women more than it does in men, perhaps because women with diabetes more often have added risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Women who smoke are twice as likely to have a heart attack as male smokers. Also, many women don't experience the crushing chest pain that is a classic symptom of a heart attack in men. Some feel extremely tired or short of breath.

All these differences make the premise of the article very valid. It's not about feminist bullshit, it's about public health matters, and the intrinsic physiological differences between both sexes.
