心脏病是美国女性死亡的主要原因，每4名女性死亡中就有1人死于心脏病。尽管在过去的十年中意识有所提高，但只有54%的女性认识到心脏病是她们的头号杀手。几乎三分之二（64%）突然死于冠心病的女性以前没有症状。按种族划分，心脏病也是美国非裔美国人和白色妇女的主要死因。在西班牙裔妇女中，心脏病和癌症每年造成的死亡人数大致相同。对于美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民以及亚洲或太平洋岛民妇女来说，心脏病仅次于癌症。疑似或已知患有冠状动脉疾病的女性通常年龄较大，糖尿病、高血压的发病率较高，并且通常有一系列危险因素。女性也表现出更多的心绞痛症状或非典型症状
HEART DISEASE IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES, RESPONSIBLE for 1 in every 4 women’s deaths. Despite increases in awareness over the past decade, only 54% of women recognize that heart disease is their number 1 killer. Almost two-thirds (64%) of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms. By race, heart disease is also the leading cause of death equally for African-American and white women in the United States. Among Hispanic women, heart disease and cancer cause roughly the same number of deaths each year. For American-Indian or Alaska Native and Asian or Pacific Islander women, heart disease is second only to cancer. Women presenting with suspected or with known coronary artery disease are generally older and have higher incidences of diabetes, hypertension, and often a clustering of risk factors. Women also present with more anginal-equivalent or atypical symptoms
