The risk and incidence of heart disease starts to increase in women at age 40, yet many women are not aware of the symptoms of heart disease. Many think of it as a "men's" disease. Women are accustomed to being caregivers. They tend to dismiss their own symptoms and take longer to seek medical attention

Unlike men, however, women’s symptoms present differently and their treatment options often require different interventions.
