BARCELONA, Spain — Young women are increasingly having heart attacks without doctors really knowing why. This is where the Young Women Presenting Acute Myocardial Infarction in France study comes in, the results of which were presented in an e-poster at the[The results fight several of the preconceived ideas on the topic, commented Manzo-Silberman in"Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in women, killing seven times more than breast cancer, notes Manzo-Silberman.
"With more than 90% having retrosternal pain, the idea that myocardial infarction presents with atypical symptoms in women has been widely challenged, despite the fact that more than half present with related symptoms and it isn't known in which order these symptoms occur, Manzo-Silberman shared with Medscape.
"With regard to risk factors, when designing this study, we expected that lots of these young women would have largely atypical autoimmune conditions, with high levels of inflammation. We looked for everything, but this was not actually the case. Instead, we found very many women to have classic risk factors; three quarters were smokers, a modifiable risk factor which can largely be prevented.
After 1 year, there had been two cancer-related deaths and 25 patients had undergone several angioplasty procedures. Nevertheless, 90.4% had not experienced any type of CV event and 72% had not even had any symptoms.authored by Viola Vaccarino, MD, PhD,
