World Heart Day 2020: Why Men Are More Prone to Heart Attacks

News 18  

Since December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has kept most doctors extremely busy. Why heart diseases have shot up during the pandemic The disease burden of cardiovascular ailments has been increasing steadily amid the pandemic because of many reasons: some patients have not been going to the hospitals for their regular checkups, some have not been taking their medicines, some haven’t had their medication doses calibrated in a while and some have been overall neglectful of their health. A trend to note when we’re on the subject of cardiovascular ailments is that men are more prone to heart attacks than women. This enables them to have healthier hearts and protects against heart disease, as cholesterol levels play a big role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. This is also why those women who suffer from hormonal conditions such as PCOS have a higher risk of heart diseases and lower life expectancy than those who experience a normal or late menopause.
