RE: Broken heart syndrome...a heart attack with normal coronary arteries.
Do i sense a bit of sexism in here? Womenfolk have been successful in getting away from this way of thinking my friend. Dont want to disappoint you but am surrounded with strong women who are making decisions rather than their husbands. I can see that they want to pull their hair most times. Shalom.
Oh OK well not sure where you are living; I myself am living on planet Earth and to suggest that females have the same entitlements as males is simply bizarre.
Females are the most down trodden species on the planet, one just has to consider equal pay or other entitlements etc. All I might suggest is your surroundings are not anything like the average for women even in today's modern new age . . .
Thats a very caveman way of thinking and I find that very offensive.
OK...
I think the strong reaction may be because some of your comments generalize about women as a whole. However, you're talking about half of the Earth's population and the experiences of women in one country (eg) Sweden, one of the most gender-equal versus Afghanistan, one of the worst to be female, would vary widely. So the causes of why this type of heart attack affects women more often may not be that straightforward.
I'm glad to have read this article. It's interesting because I've only heard of one instance where someone died from this and it was a very young female who experienced a lot of stress. She wasn't "oppressed" in the traditional sense but a victim of financial fraud.
Our patients have had sudden stress occurring when admitted yes. It doesnt really matter where they are, who they are with. its an unpredictable response.
