Women are treated worse than men!

Fighters for the equal rights of men and women need to look into the department of cardiac resuscitation and continue their struggle there. As it became known, women are much more likely than men to die after a heart attack. The weaker sex is treated hard enough!

French researchers call to eliminate gender inequality in the issue of the treatment of heart patients because of which women die more than men. Scientists have traced the fate of 3,500 men and women who arrived to hospital after heart attacks . Found out not too pleasant facts.

So much for women less likely than men angiography was performed, with which you can consider in detail the blockade of the cardiac arteries. Less frequent and angioplasty, with which this blockade can be eliminated. As a result, mortality among women   It is much higher than men's. In the first month after heart attack Women are twice (!) more than men, the risk to go to another world.

Such high mortality among women   due solely to the fact that women do not receive the same treatment as men. In this conviction, and Dr. Maria Rosa Costanzo of the American Heart Association, which has no relation to the French study. "If women would have exactly the same access to procedures and drugs as men, it would be much less likely to die," says Dr. Costanzo.

However, there is another point of view. Science has long known that women suffer much worse than men heart attacks . The exact reasons for this have not yet been established. It is assumed that this is due to biological differences between the sexes, such as the smaller blood vessels in women that increase the risk of complications during angioplasty.

In addition, women are usually later in life, and in poorer health than men when going through heart attack . Finally, they wait longer before consulting a doctor. However, the French researchers are convinced that it is in a different treatment.
