The number of women dying from heart disease is increasing in Canada. Yet, few women are able to detect the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack.
Thus, American doctor and chief medical correspondent for CBS News, Jon LaPook, took advantage of “National Wear Red Day” in the United States to highlight the information that women need to know on this subject.
“It is a false and dangerous idea that heart disease is in some way an exclusively male disease,” he said, recalling that it is “the No. 1 cause of death among women.” “, in the USA.
This reality is also striking in Canada, where heart disease is the No. 2 cause of death among women, according to Statistics Canada.
Signs and symptoms
The most common signs of a heart attack in women include chest pain and shortness of breath, according to Dr. LaPook.
In some cases, there may be more atypical symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and pain in the jaw, back, or elsewhere.
Risk factors
There are several medical conditions that can lead to heart disease, including high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and inactivity.
Dr. LaPook also recalled that cigarettes can have a great influence on the world’s heart health.
Pregnancy does not go well with heart disease. So, as this is a stressful event in a woman’s life, it is important to ensure that she is in good health before becoming pregnant.
How to detect heart disease?
The best way to keep an eye on your heart health is to monitor the numbers, such as weight, blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
“It’s not something where you want to wait until you have symptoms and then say, ‘OK, now I’m really going to get into it.’ This should last a lifetime. So, from birth, you want to have healthy habits,” said the medical correspondent.

England vs Italy: A thrilling showdown in the Six Nations Tournament

An air of déjà vu for Italy or the beginnings of a new era? The Nazionale, attractive in the first period, manhandled England who won 27 to 24 during the first day of the Six Nations Tournament, Saturday.
For his debut at the head of Italy, Gonzalo Quesada believed for 45 minutes his team capable of a resounding feat, a first victory once morest the XV de la Rose in 31 confrontations.
But the former Argentinian international and his players were brutally brought back to earth when the English, muddled until then, showed off their power and experience following returning from the locker room.
Quesada, who has only had a handful of training sessions with his players since taking office, knew the difficulty of his task: he had a concrete illustration of this with his young Nazionale who, like many others before her, showed two faces.
First there was a team without complexes, playful and getting ahead of a borrowed England.
It is embodied by the Garbisi brothers, Paolo and Alessandro, associated for the first time at this level, the youngest scoring for his 8th selection a formidable try on a breakthrough in the axis of Lorenzo Cannone (12th, 10-0).
England ends its curse
The second Italian essay of the followingnoon is even more beautiful and symbolizes the evolution, rather than the revolution, advocated by Quesada.
On a ball recovered in their camp during a strong English moment, the Azzurri overtook their opponents in three passes and Tommaso Allan impeccably served by Tommaso Menoncello brought the score to 17-8 (25th).
But England, stunned by the speed of execution and Italian ambitions, was able to stay in the match thanks to a corner try from Elliot Daly following a breakthrough from Tommy Freeman (20th).
The return from the locker room sounded the death knell for the Azzurri’s hopes and the meeting that had been rhythmic up to that point decreased in intensity: the Nazionale lost its footing physically and multiplied the bad choices.
England took the opportunity to score a second try by Alex Mitchell and take the lead for the first time thanks to the transformation of George Ford (21-17, 45th).
Once Italy’s time had passed, England, relentless, flew away thanks to two new penalties from the Saracens opener (27-17) and stopped their curse of the first days: they thus won their first match of a Six Nations Tournament since 2019.
“Much to improve”
Third in the last World Cup, Steve Borthwick’s team will have to improve significantly to aim high in this 2024 edition, despite the absences of fly-half Owen Farrell (on international break), Courtney Lawes (retirement) and Manu Tuilagi (injured).
“I am very happy with the result, with the reaction of the team which reacted well to obtain this victory, but there are a lot of things to improve, Italy scored too easily, our combinations left something to be desired”, admitted the English coach.
“The team is young, five players made their debut today, it is in the learning phase, we will improve,” he insisted.
Italy can console themselves by remembering that they have never been so close to beating England.
“Honestly, I don’t think regarding the difference in points between the two teams, even if it is minimal, insisted Quesada. I am proud of the state of mind of my players, they showed at times the team that ‘we wanted and might be’.
The Nazionale, which will travel to Dublin next weekend, can nourish the ambition of escaping the 6th and last place which has stuck to its jersey since 2016 as shown by its last action of the match which it concluded in beauty and for honor with a try from Monty Ioanne (84th).
