Don and Yael discuss a problem with the medical system that needs to be corrected. D: Time once again for What You Didn't Know. This is where we read a well-known science fact and then surprise you with the follow-up. Ready?
Y: Yep.
D: Heart disease 1 is a leading cause of death.
Y: Hey, it turns out the sky is blue. Everybody knows heart disease is bad news for all those overweight guys in suits.
D: . . . for women.
Y: Whoops 2! Did you say heart disease is a leading cause of death for women?
D: More than that: it's not only a leading cause of death, it's the leading cause of death. Women over fifty are more likely to die of heart attacks than anything else.
Y: But I thought heart attacks were a guy thing.
D: You and almost everyone else. A recent American Heart Association 3 poll 4 asked what the leading cause of death in women over fifty was. Guess how many American women got the answer correct?
Y: Not a lot?
D: Only eight percent. Even more alarming, a Gallup poll asked doctors the same question. Only fifty-five percent knew it. That's almost one out of two getting it wrong!
Y: So heart attacks aren't a guy thing?
D: Heart disease happens to women just as much as to men--maybe even more. The number of men dying 5 of heart attacks is dropping, studies show, while the number of women dying of them is on the rise. Some researchers speculate 6 that it has to do with just this lack of understanding that heart disease isn't just a male problem. Men may be getting better prevention and better treatment, while women's warning signs are being missed.
