That a man’s brain differs from a woman’s brain has been well talked about. But there are differences between their hearts as well, according to a new research.
The research published by the Canadian GENESIS project has found some serious differences when men and women suffer from heart disease. The research found that men’s ailing hearts respond differently to certain medications than women’s do.
“It could be that, in the future, you choose a drug based on the sex of the patient,” said study leader Louise Pilote of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
The researchers also found angiograms are less effective at detecting heart problems in women than in men. Furthermore, women tend not to experience the crushing chest pain of a heart attack that men report, but rather feel more fatigue and nausea, she added.
