Causes of heart attack in women at an early age ...

Heart attacks are more common in women aged 35-50 due to a number of factors, including lifestyle, diet and stress. The US has seen a 10-15 per cent increase, and the number is similar in India, said Dr. Krishna Kumar, a senior consultant cardiologist at the Cauvery Hospital in Chennai and director of advanced heart failure, cardiomyopathy, circulatory support and transcatheter heart valve therapy. R Anantharaman said.

According to a 2019 study published in the Journal of Circulation by the American Heart Association, the number of visits to the hospital for a heart attack by people aged 35-54 increased from 27% in 1995-99 to 32% in 2010-14. Anantharaman said the admission rate was 10 per cent higher among women than men (3%).

People aged 20-40 are more likely to get coronary artery disease (CAD). A study published in 2016 found that 50 per cent of reported CAD cases were in Indians under 50 years of age.

CAD coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common condition caused by the accumulation of cholesterol in the walls of the arteries that carry blood to the heart. This causes the arteries to constrict over time and obstructs blood flow.

Experts say that while there are many commonly known factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, diet, blood pressure and diabetes, there are some gender factors that contribute to the early onset of CVD in women.

If left untreated, stress, anxiety and depression can affect the functioning of the heart. You can have high blood pressure for a long time without any symptoms, which leads to platelet disorders. Experts say that all these factors increase the risk of CVD and heart attack.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and other hormonal problems in women, along with early menopause, lead to a decrease in estrogen levels in women. This puts people in the 35-50 age group at risk for CVD.

Smoking is also found to be on the rise among women. Weight gain from certain medications, including birth control pills, can increase the risk of CVD if left untreated, said Dr. Krishna Kumar, a senior consultant at the Apollo Specialty Hospital in Chennai. Shiva Muthukumar said.

He also said that if you notice any symptoms like chest pain, you should see a doctor immediately. Excessive sweating, even in good winters, is considered by experts to be another symptom of a heart attack. When your arteries block, your heart needs more energy to pump blood. During this work the body tries to lower your body temperature by sweating. This is the reason why your body sweats abnormally.

Women are more likely to experience shortness of breath if they have a heart attack - more than any other symptom. So if you are experiencing shortness of breath with or without chest pain, the AHA recommends that you go to the hospital immediately.
