I'm posting out of frustration really. My friend asked me why more men get heart attacks seemingly than women. Everywhere it says that men are at more risk, and women react differently, or survive at different rates, or they are just as much at risk but after menopause, but WHY? What exactly makes a man more at risk? Why is a woman less likely to survive a heart attack, apparently? Why after menopause? There are lots of statements and no answers!!!
