Heart attacks: Women die often than men

Significantly more women die than men due to cardiovascular disease because they rarely receive examinations and treatment applied routinely to men, according to a study by French researchers presented Tuesday the United States.

The research, conducted among 3,000 women hospitalized following a heart attack, shows that they got angiography - medical technology to see the ships - or Angioplasty - dilating a narrowed coronary artery with a catheter equipped with an inflatable balloon much less often than men.

The authors of the study suspect that women had twice as much risk of dying from a heart attack than men who had a heart attack within thirty days.

But after applying a statistical method for comparing men with more clinical features and treatment in some women of this group, mortality rate was very similar.

"This suggests that we could reduce mortality in patients resorting more systematically procedures more offensive examinations and interventions," said Dr. Francois Schiele, chief of cardiology at University Hospital of Besançon, lead author of the study.

"In the absence of clear indications, women should be treated with all the strategies recommended including the most offensive," he said at the annual conference of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting in Atlanta.
