Coronary heart disease:
'Silent killer' often goes undiagnosed By Eleska Aubespin Florida Today. Twenty-three years ago, when Alice Harms complained of indigestion, severe fatigue and nausea, her doctors attributed the symptoms to menopause. No one suspected she was suffering from coronary heart disease. At the time, that was considered a man's malady. But Harms indeed was afflicted with a blockage of her heart's blood vessels. The condition went undiagnosed until the then 65-year-old Melbourne woman suffered a heart attack in 1978. "I would think it was indigestion and eat Tums," recalled Harms, 88. "Eventually the indigestion feeling would subside and I gave credit to the tablets. It wasn't until after the heart attack that they discovered heart disease." Harms is not alone. The misdiagnosis of women suffering heart problems is widespread, despite the fact 1 in 10 women ages 45 to 64 has some form of heart disease, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. In fact, heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 killers in women killing nearly twice as much as from all forms of cancer. An estimated 500,000 women will die this year from cardiovascular diseases alone, according to experts. Yet women plagued by this "silent killer" have long been misdiagnosed. Why? A woman's symptoms can be subtler than those exhibited by a man, said Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a cardiologist at the New England Heart Center and author of Heart Sense for Women: Your Plan for Natural Prevention and Treatment. "Diagnosis for women with heart disease is the hardest diagnosis to make," he said. "For one thing, their anatomy is different. Their heart and blood vessels are smaller. Hormone levels are different. And women have changes in their bodies because of hormonal fluctuations." In other words, it's tough to determine if a woman's complaint of nausea is because of normal biological changes or heart disease. Other typical symptoms shortness of breath, fainting spells, chest pressure, back and jaw aches do little to help doctors clarify the diagnosis, he said. "We've known (of this problem) for a number of years and are trying to address it in terms of both early diagnosis and treatment," said Dr. J. Hector Pope, assistant clinical ...
