HEART DISEASE & WOMEN
Women Present, Test Differently than Male Patients.
#ChestPain & #HeartAttacks
women seeking treatment for chest pain, are more likely to down play symptoms. Providers may underestimate risks. We have been compared to men & male populated studies. #ANOCA

So IMPORTANT! Relating your obstetric medical history to doctors IS huge to other matters and what might fuel them.

[Carolyn Thomas ☮️ @HeartSisters]

After my heart attack, every CCU doctor & nurse asked about my cardiac risk factors:
Did I have a family history?
Did I smoke?
Did I have diabetes?
But nobody asked about my pregnancy complications!

@chydorina What a good explanation. I am fighting Microvascular dysfunction and clearly similar. If I don’t listen to my body? I pay dearly. It’s hard to learn when we get aftereffects- not during the exertion. Thank you.@chydorina

Arms raised and especially washing hair can be a huge trigger to symptoms in #NOCAD! #MicroIsHuge

Why taking a shower is so exhausting for heart attack survivors:

"Taking a shower left me feeling surprisingly weak, shaky and gasping for breath..."

@HeartSisters METS - those perceived exertion points did surprise me! Arms up- Doing hair is the worst!

Heart Month is an extra special time of year! However. Advocating never ends!! Too many are in need of awareness! There’s so much work left to do all year long!!

Microvasculature is vital!! I often think inflammation is what I address most to aid them. We must do more research! It feeds everything beyond the heart also! Its health is important!

The integrity & health of your heart muscle depends on these networks of our tiniest vessels feeding it. They are not easy to see or check on typical testing.

So very important to note this is not rare.⭐️

[International Heart Spasms Alliance @heart_spasms]

ANOCA/INOCA/MINOCA: Open artery ischemia
Carl J. Pepine

"1. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), >50 % of cases.
2. Heightened coronary vasoreactivity (vasospasm) ∼20–25 % of cases at either the epicardial level or microvascular level or both.
3. Altered coagulation"

[International Heart Spasms Alliance @heart_spasms]

No one wants to have a heart health issue. If you do have symptoms, don’t ignore them. If a medical professional is not listening, seek a second opinion!
Our site is full of information, support, research and doctors in the field.

@NajahAdreak @CWHHAlliance It IS all the difference. Just reading a test is part of the picture. Thank you for this reminder.

@AnastasiaSMihai Yes. YES. And. YES!!!
