\"SurprisingHere\u2019s the thing. <\/p>\n

Everyone spends a lot of time talking about improving your blood pressure, preventing heart attacks, lowering cholesterol, and on and on. <\/p>\n

But the thing is this: there\u2019s one often overlooked aspect about heart attacks that you should know about if you\u2019re going to live a vibrant, healthy life. <\/p>\n

It has to do with your gender. And it\u2019s pretty surprising what your gender has to do with heart attacks. <\/p>\n

Fortunately, knowing this will let you take the right steps to beating heart attacks for good. <\/em><\/p>\n

Medical records claim that there has been many advances introduced to reduce the incidence of heart attacks. Yet, the results of a research study conducted in Yale University shows that there has been really no difference in the heart attack rates in young and middle-aged population.<\/p>\n

A team of researchers analyzed data from about 231,000 hospital records in patients between the ages of 30 and 54. The data was collected from a period of 2001 to 2010. <\/p>\n

According to the data, both men and women in that age group were hospitalized for heart attacks just about as often ten years ago as they did in 2010.<\/p>\n

The researchers observed that while women comprised only a quarter of the population admitted for heart problems, they were more likely to die of heart attacks than men. Similarly, women tend to take longer to recover from a heart attack and remain hospitalized for a longer time. African-American women were in particular found to be more susceptible to die due to heart attack. <\/p>\n

The team has emphasized that middle-aged women are particularly in higher risk because they don\u2019t tend to take the symptoms of a heart attack seriously. Also, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels are sometimes ignored. It is the general assumption that heart attack is a problem that is common only in old-aged men.<\/p>\n

When it comes to dealing with heart problems, prevention is key. And that means keeping blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol and body weight in control. Exercises and a balanced diet are necessary.<\/p>\n
