Why don’t younger women recover well from heart attacks?
New study finds that stress may play a role
Stress may partly explain why young and middle-aged women have a worse recovery after heart attack, according to new research published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
Although 35,000 women under age 65 experience heart attack each year in the United States, there’s limited data on psychosocial characteristics and recovery outcomes of young and middle-aged women.
