There\u2019s quite a disconnect when it comes to women and heart disease. It\u2019s the number-one killer<\/a> of American women\u2014causing one in five women\u2019s deaths\u2014yet only about half of women recognize that truth. Combating a disease is much more difficult without widespread awareness. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Recognizing the danger and especially the symptoms can help women avoid heart disease and live longer, healthier lives. Here\u2019s what you need to know. <\/p>\n<\/div>

What Is Heart Disease, Exactly?<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Among the range of cardiovascular ailments, coronary heart disease,<\/a> also called coronary artery disease, specifically refers to atherosclerosis, or the buildup of plaque in the arteries of the heart. Too much buildup and blood flow to the heart becomes restricted enough to cause a heart attack or stroke. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Another possibility is that plaque ruptures and forms a blood clot that restricts blood flow. Whether from a slow buildup or ruptured plaque, cutting off blood flow to the heart leads to chest pain (angina), irregular heartbeat, heart attack, or sudden cardiac death. Atherosclerosis also causes stroke and can even lead to a hole in your intestines.<\/p>\n<\/div>
