"This means that the risk of having a heart attack is lower in women than in men," says Alpaslan, who explains that estrogen hormone is partly protective against cardiovascular diseases in women who have not entered menopause.

However, this risk comes at the same level as men after 10 years of entering the menopause, especially above 70 years for women. The risk of heart attack in women of childbearing age is very low. However, this rare situation is especially dangerous for this age group.
