Mortality trends in women according to the type of CVD
• Among all types of CVD, CeVD is the leading cause of death in women
• IHD is the second one• Women use to do the prevention of breast
cancer and are unaware that CVD is the first one killer in any age(around 3 times more under 50 YO, and ten fold more over 50 YO)
• Considering only IHD, even in age under 50 YO, sometimes it kills more than breast cancer
