What are the factors that put a risk on women's heart health?

Heart disease, a leading cause of mortality, affects both genders. Symptoms in women can be atypical, leading to late diagnosis. The onset of this illness may occur in childhood, develop gradually over time, and end in an unplanned, often fatal heart attack. Waiting for symptoms to appear before implementing tried-and-true risk-reduction strategies is not a smart idea. Cardiovascular disease affects both genders almost equally on an annual basis.
