Women's heart attack rates go up, men's go down
An "ominous trend" has emerged among women and their risk of a heart attack, according to new research published in the Oct. 26 issue of The Archives of Internal Medicine.

The researchers are calling for greater emphasis on risk factor controls for women to help mitigate "this worrisome trend."
