Introduction
Heart disease is the nation's leading killer of women. Paying attention to risk factors and living a healthy lifestyle can help decrease your chance of heart disease. Among women, 90% have one or more risk factors for heart disease at some point in their lives, according to American Heart Association statistics. Yet 80% of cardiovascular diseases are preventable. Remember to get annual checkups and become knowledgeable of your key health numbers, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.






Symptoms 
Women's heart attack symptoms may cover a wider spectrum compared with symptoms in men. Women also may have symptoms such as back pain, usually on the left side; shoulder pain; a fullness in the stomach; or nausea as signs of an impending heart attack.

Risk Factors
Diabetes and hypertension during pregnancy as well as early delivery have been linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk years later. Lack of sleep – getting less than six or seven hours a night – is connected to heart disease, research has shown. Chronic stress can lead to behaviors and factors that impact heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, inactivity, and overeating. 

Prevention
To cope with stress, eat healthy foods, exercise and get plenty of sleep. Consider talking to others about your stress, including a friend, parent, doctor, or counselor. Working with a health care provider to find a customized treatment plan that fits your daily life and medical needs. A friend, family member or co-worker also can be a good partner for getting physically active and sticking with a healthy eating plan.
