While both sexes experience chest pain before or during a heart attack, women may be more likely to have unusual symptoms instead such as shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, and back, jaw or neck pain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The telltale signs of heart attacks in women often go unnoticed or mistaken for other health problems, meaning women are often treated less quickly and could suffer more damage as a result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many people are not aware that the telltale signs for heart attacks differ between genders. according to a report by the American Heart Association.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Laxmi Mehta, the lead author of the study, said: “Women seem to do worse for several reasons.” </div>

At hospital, women may be less likely to receive medications to help prevent blood clots, lower blood pressure and cholesterol.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both men and women get heart attacks caused by blockages in the main arteries leading to the heart, the clots differ between the genders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Men have more of a “classic” type of blockage, where plaque ruptures off the artery wall, forms a blood clot and causes a complete halt of blood flow through the artery to the heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Mehta, the director of women’s cardiovascular health at Ohio State University in Columbus, added: “There is a lot at stake for women when there is a delay in treatment or lack of adherence to recommended therapies.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, Dr. Sheila Sahni, chief fellow in cardiovascular disease at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles, said: “Women more often, tend to have a plaque erosion where smaller pieces of plaque break off, become exposed and cause the formation of smaller blood clots which may or may not cause total occlusions all at once, leading to a more subtle presentation.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Women also tend to be older - by about a decade - than men when they suffer heart attacks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report suggests this might mean women are frailer and more likely to suffer from other health problems such as diabetes that can make treatment more complicated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Risk factors also differ between men and women. High blood pressure is more strongly associated with women and heart attacks, and young women with type-2 diabetes face a heart disease risk that’s up to five times greater than men’s.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More evidence is also mounting indicating psychological stresses can increase the risk of heart disease - and it’s affecting more women than men.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As well as different risk factors, women are often underrepresented at clinical trials and there are huge disparities between race. Black women have a higher incidence of heart attacks in all age categories. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The report reiterates the importance in getting help once a heart attack begins. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr Leslie Cho, director of the women’s cardiovascular centre at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio added: “Time is muscle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If women are diagnosed and treated later in the course of the heart attack, they can suffer from irreversible heart damage.”</div>

If you haven't heard of 'munchie boxes', where on earth have you been? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the new fast food trend hitting the north of England, originating in Scotland and is growing in popularity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The boxes include enough food to feed a family - but mainly greasy, calorie-laiden food stuffs including several types of kebab meat, chips and cheese. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it turns out, if the food doesn't harm you, the box it's presented in might well be bad for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What might look like a simple pizza box has officially been banned in the US because of a compound used to stop the grease - perfluoroalkyl ethyl. </div>

Perfluoroalkyl ethyl is also known as perfluorochemicals (PFCs) - and perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are defined by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services as: "…a group of chemicals used to make fluoropolymer coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Authorities in the US have now banned the chemical - amongst others - because it may be harmful to health.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A statement from the US Food and Drug Administration said they were “proposing that we amend our food additive regulation to no longer provide for the use of three specific perfluoroalkyl ethyl containing food-contact substances (FCSs) as oil and water repellants for paper and paperboard for use in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a nutshell, this means food can't be sold in the US if it's been in direct contact with boxes treated with the substances. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's unknown what the banned substance can do to you - but it's a strong move for the US government to ban it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What about the UK? Well, it's would seem the same rule doesn't apply but there's a debate as to whether or not the chemicals are used over here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Watchdogs Food Standards Scotland spokesman told The Mirror: “There is no specific European legislation on the chemicals that can be used in paper board, but suppliers of such materials need to demonstrate that it is compliant and it is safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Any pizza boxes used in Scotland must comply.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Daily Record has taken the claims one step further, speaking to Scottish marine biology expert Dr Mark Hartl. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Heriot-Watt University educated Doctor claims the chemical caused “a build-up of testosterone in female snails," which subsequently lead to masculinised females who grew penises.</div>

Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director at the British Heart Foundation, is also needing more investment in research to increase diagnosis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: “We urgently need to accelerate research into inherited heart conditions that take the lives of hundreds of young people in the UK every year, often without warning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Our research has helped make great progress in identifying some of the gene defects that cause these heart conditions, and as a result genetic testing is now available for many people with a family history of an inherited heart disease. However, many of the causative defects remain undiscovered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We urgently need people’s support to enable us to fund more research into these gene defects so that patients at risk can be identified before they have a serious cardiac event and so that we can work towards developing treatments to neutralise the effects of the faulty gene.”</div>

Worryingly for some – including high profile sportspeople such as rugby league player Danny Jones who died last year – there is no warning before the underlying condition causes a sudden cardiac arrest. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite advances in research into inherited heart conditions, many gene defects still remain undiscovered. </div>

In particular, the rapid uptake of the emergency stenting treatment (PPCI) gives nine in 10 patients fighting chance of survival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite discovering this treatment could save thousands of lives, the researchers argue there are huge disparities in who receives the treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The research - part funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and led by the University of Leeds - showed the use of emergency PPCI increased from 0.1 per cent in 2003 to 86 per cent in 2013 for patients with STEMI.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a heart attack caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery which accounts for 25 to 40 per cent of all heart attack cases in Europe.</div>

The BHF says all patients having a STEMI should be taken to a designated heart attack centre with the facilities and staff to deliver round the clock PPCI, seven days a week. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PPCI involves opening a blocked artery to restore blood flow to the oxygen-starved part of the heart and has helped save thousands of lives since becoming available in the early 2000’s. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The introduction of PPCI followed a ten-year action plan for heart disease (National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease) and prompted system-wide change and led to an increase in the number of hospitals able to deliver this lifesaving treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However the research, published in the journal Heart, also found vast differences in the provision of PPCI treatment between hospitals, ranging from a four - 300 per cent increase over the ten years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Patients suffering from diabetes, angina or having previously had a heart attack were less likely to receive the treatment, with chronic illness increasing the difficultly of diagnosis.</div>

Living more than 30 kilometres from a hospital also lead to lower PPCI rates, but guidelines state that patients whose treatment with PPCI cannot be provided within two hours of arrival of the emergency services should receive clot busting drugs as an alternative. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And to ensure people do not miss out on the best available treatment, the emergency services need to improve their ability to identify heart attacks in patients who are chronically ill with multiple symptoms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To save lives, researchers believe all heart attack centres should have the facilities and infrastructure to be able to deliver this routine treatment round the clock. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professor Peter Weissberg, Medical Director of the BHF, said: “BHF-funded researchers first showed that a heart attack is caused by a blood clot blocking a coronary artery and that the sooner the blockage is opened, the greater the chances of survival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is a testament to the NHS and its investment through the National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease that today nine in ten people who suffer a major heart attack in the UK are treated by PPCI. But clearly we need to do even better to guarantee all patients across the UK receive the best possible treatment.</div>

The American Heart Association recently urged that patients suffering from ST-segment elevation myocardial (STEMI) should be treated within 90-minutes or less of reaching hospital.</div>

Heart disease is a leading cause of erectile dysfunction (ED), but not enough men are aware of this - and inadequate sex education is to blame.</div>

Some 80 per cent of the men in the study experienced ED, but barely any could adequately identify what was to blame and the modifiable risks, revealed the Polish study.</div>

The research highlighted almost 40 per cent of the men surveyed could not name any of the six ways they could limit their risk of ED.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Smoking, being overweight, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure, and a lack of exercise are all factors which increase the likelihood of problems between the sheets.</div>

Shockingly, a mere six per cent were able to name all of these risk factors. Many blamed low testosterone, cycling or benign prostate tumours for the ED.</div>

People at risk of a heart attack are putting their lives on the line by taking too long to recognise heart attack warning signs, the latest research has revealed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The study also warned there are far better outcomes for patients treated within a TWO hour window.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Researchers compared the impact of the patient’s heart muscle function from the arrival at the hospital until they were treated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Patients who received treatment two to four hours or later after they first started experiencing symptoms were less likely to have blood flow full restored to the heart and were more at risk of death over the next three years, compared to patients who received treatment more quickly. </div>

The American Heart Association have urged that patients suffering from ST-segment elevation myocardial (STEMI) should be treated within 90-minutes or less of reaching hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
STEMI is a severe heart attack that occurs when a coronary artery suddenly becomes at least partial blocked by a blood clot, causing some of the heart muscle being supplied by that artery to become infarcted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the NHS, a STEMI is what most people think of when they hear the term “heart attack.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Researchers looked at the outcomes of over 2,000 patients who had been treated within two hours and less, between two and four hours, as well as more than four hours.</div>

Study author Dr Roxana Mehran, who is director of interventional cardiovascular research and clinical trials at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said: "The decrease in median door-to-balloon time in recent years has not resulted in a reduction in mortality in STEMI patients. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This study highlights the need to reconsider the role of door-to-balloon as a performance metric and examine the utility of a broader metric of systems delay such as first medical contact to balloon time as well as total ischemic time."</div>

The British Heart Foundation say the symptoms of a heart attack may include tightness, heaviness or pain in your chest, that can spread to your arms, neck, jaw, back or stomach. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The severity of this tightness varies from person to person. The NHS stress that not everyone experiences severe chest pain; the pain can often be mild and mistaken for indigestion. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As well as chest pain or discomfort, you may become sweaty, feel light-headed, weak or dizzy, or become short of breath.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You may also feel nauseous or vomit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The BHF advise calling 999 immediately for an ambulance if you suspect you are having a heart attack.</div>

Cardiac arrest occurs when a heart loses its rhythm and suddenly stops beating. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because survival rates are so low, researchers have struggled to gather information on which symptoms and early warning signs people experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This study, named the Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study, assessed medical records from people aged 35 to 65.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Researchers also interviewed people who had witnessed cardiac arrests, along with the friends and family of patients. </div>

An insurance worker who used energy drinks to help him tackle gruelling 60-hour weeks suffered a heart attack after downing TWO LITRES of the stuff. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Martin Bowling, 28, suffered heart problems in a Romford pub after he downed massive quantities of the caffeine-pumped energy drink.</div>

The insurance worker from Essex was spending an incredible £75 a week on the controversial drink to keep him going whilst working gruelling long hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After he collapsed on to the pub floor, an ambulance was called and Mr Bowling was rushed to hospital, where doctors discovered the ultra-high caffeine levels in his blood stream and told him that he’d suffered a cardiac arrest.</div>

Victoria Taylor, the British Heart Foundation's senior dietician, said: "While drinking moderate amounts of caffeine shouldn't have an impact on your heart health, some people can be more sensitive to its effects."Children and young people are particularly vulnerable and can have an exaggerated response to caffeine, as they will be less used to it.</div>
