The International Journal of Cardiology has published a report that revealed that when the symptoms of heart attack grown up, the predictors detected the possibilities of attack in men and women differently.
Dr. Johan Herlitz, of Sahlgrenska University Hospital and other associates have conducted a study on the patients with symptoms of heart attack. They were taken to the hospital by ambulance.
The ambulance took good medical care and conducted a basic examination of patients showing symptoms of heart attack.
The female patients had a lower chance of a previous heart attack. It was during the study that seventeen percent of the women and twenty-six percent of the men had a previous diagnosis of heart attack.
In the case of initial ST-depression, twenty-two percent of women and fifty-four percent of men were find with a previous history of heart attack.
The researchers found an important connection between gender and the ST-depression associated with heart attack risk.
The researchers concluded that an early history of heart attack and an older age of women are the big predictive factors. However, ST-depression and Q-waves on ECG are the predictive factors among men.
