Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among men worldwide. Unlike women, men often exhibit different symptoms and risk factors, which can complicate timely diagnosis and treatment. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for effective prevention and management.
Why Are Men at Higher Risk?
Several factors contribute to the heightened risk of heart disease in men:
- Biological Factors: Men generally have higher levels of certain risk factors like LDL cholesterol and develop atherosclerosis earlier in life.
- Lifestyle Choices: Higher incidence of smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and unhealthy eating habits can increase risk.
- Stress Levels: Men often experience high levels of stress related to work and societal expectations, which can negatively impact heart health.
- Delayed Medical Consultation: Men are less likely to seek medical advice promptly, leading to late diagnoses and complications.
