Many people believe breast cancer to be the No. 1 women's health, problem, but this is false. Heart disease is by far the biggest killer of women. Part of the reason for this is because women have not been traditionally included in major heart disease research. Surprisingly, most of the research has been geared toward men who tend to show a completely different set of symptoms for heart attack. Compared to men, women also tend to have heart attacks much later in life. It appears that medical research is finally letting go of the chauvinism and including women in the research model.
