Why is there a heart disease awareness month for women but not for men?

Jason asked:


Does this mean that everyone is just focused on womens health and no one is focused on men??
What if a man dies from heart disease?? Does anyone even care??

Is there any research being done on mens health or does everyone ignore mens health and laugh if they get heart disease??

      Women are neglected if and when they succumb to heart attack. They are not fetched to the hospital for treatment at the proper time. Women and older patients experience atypical symptoms more frequently than their male and younger counterparts. Women also have more symptoms compared to men (2.6 on average vs 1.8 symptoms in men). The most common symptoms of MI in women include dyspnea, weakness, and fatigue. Fatigue, sleep disturbances, and dyspnea have been reported as frequently occurring symptoms which may manifest as long as one month before the actual clinically manifested ischemic event. In women, chest pain may be less predictive of coronary ischemia than in men.
      World Heart Day is celebrated by World Heart Federation on September 27th every year. Begun in 1999 with the vision that all World Heart Federation members could collectively help to curb the global pandemic of cardiovascular disease, which claims some 17.5 million lives world-wide annually, World Heart Day is now celebrated by members and non-members alike in more than 100 countries around the world.
