Heart attack risk factors affect both men and women, but their impact and presentation often differ. In men, risk tends to appear earlier and is commonly linked to smoking, high LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and family history. Men often develop coronary artery disease at a younger age.
In women, heart attack risk rises after menopause and is strongly influenced by diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, stress, and hormonal changes. Conditions like gestational diabetes, pregnancy-related hypertension, and autoimmune diseases further increase risk. Women may also experience atypical symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis.
Understanding these differences allows for timely screening, personalized prevention, and better outcomes for both men and women.
