Study Reveals Gender-Specific Heart Attack Biomarkers
Heart attacks can manifest differently between men and women, with some experiencing no symptoms at all. A recent study by researchers at the University Medical Center Mainz, led by Felix Rausch, has shed light on these variations, identifying biomarkers linked to heart failure risk in women.
Half of all heart attack victims may initially experience early symptoms. Regular checkups and symptom recognition can help prevent severe heart damage. Men and women may experience different symptoms. Silent heart attacks, common among diabetics and heart attack survivors, may cause mild discomfort, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
Post-menopause, women's heart attack risk increases, with symptoms ranging from severe chest pain to unusual fatigue or anxiety. Early signs can include mild chest pain, shoulder or neck pain, sweating, or nausea. The University Medical Center Mainz study found that women may have unique biomarkers indicating fibrotic remodeling and severe heart failure risk post-infarction.
Understanding and recognizing heart attack symptoms based on gender and health profile can significantly improve life expectancy and well-being. Recent research has identified biomarkers specific to women, aiding in early detection and prevention of severe heart failure. Regular checkups and prompt action at the onset of symptoms can help save lives.
