Coronary Artery Disease Is Leading Cause of Death in Women

If a cardiovascular condition such as coronary artery disease has left you permanently disabled, you may qualify to receive Social Security disability benefits.

Disabled World reports that coronary artery disease is not just a man's disease but is the leading cause of death in women. And it is also known as the "silent killer," since many women aren't even aware they have it.

Heart disease has always been tied to men but it has become just as common and just as deadly for women. Being aware of risk factors is important to getting early treatment.

Some of the symptoms that may indicate an individual has coronary artery disease include:

 

• lightheadedness;
• shortness of breath;
• heartburn;
• tightness in chest;
• skin is cold and clammy; and
• back pain.

 

There are risk factors that could increase the chance of a woman developing coronary artery disease which include:

 

• obesity;
• family history of disease;
• smoking;
• high cholesterol;
• diabetes; and
• high blood pressure.

 

Women should be aware of the prevalence of this disease and take steps to fight it off. They should also be under the regular care of a doctor so that it can be detected early on.
