What's Billy Joel got to do with American Heart Month?Happy February! It's heart month for two reasons- Valentine's Day and American Heart Month. Personally, I'm pretty passionate about both. With heart disease the number one killer of both women and men, we must all remember that when it strikes, it affects more than one heart. When my father passed away suddenly nearly 13 years ago, it changed our lives forever, and that's an understatement! Perhaps you too have been impacted by heart disease or have lost someone you know? If so, I'm sorry and my passion this month is to share a bit of information that may be of benefit to you and yours!
I'm a Billy Joel fan from waaayyyyy back, in fact, the first two albums I purchased from my own hard working money were "The Stranger" and "52nd Street". Why do I mention this? Billy sings in Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) that "Workin' too hard can give me a heart attack". Then he adds the "yack, yack, yack yack" part. For some you may think, what is all the "yack yack" about, particularly for women? Well, the fact is, every 30 seconds someone dies of a heart attack. At least two have died since you have clicked and begun to read this message! That's what the "yack, yack" is all about!
For men, a full 50% will have sudden cardiac death as their first symptom of heart disease, for women, the stats are even worse- 65%!! What is going on? First, there are a lot of 'Miss Perceptions' about women and heart disease. Statistics show that of the women who now realize this is not just a man's disease, only 10% believe it is their personal risk. Second- the "Ms'diagnoses". Due to our anatomy and the way women develop heart disease more often then not, our diagnoses of heart disease is overlooked, under diagnosed and under treated as well! The details on this would curl your hair, in spite of the best straightening iron. Women develop diffuse (meaning pouring out in every direction) disease that lines our vessels from top to bottom. Often there really isn't a big "pimple like" plaque sitting there to too see, squish or bypass around. Thus the Msdiagnoses, the undertreatment and higher mortality. The take home message - the best answer for women and heart disease is Prevention!
To your healthy hearts!
