Description: Heart disease statistics Some statistics about heart disease. Six times as many women die each year of heart attacks as they do from breast cancer. Cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) killed around 500,000 women in the United States last year. Women who smoke risk having a heart attack almost twenty years earlier than women who don�t smoke. Black women ages 55 to 65 are twice as likely as white women to have heart attacks. One study found that fewer than 30 percent of women had the classic crushing chest pain as a symptom when having a heart attack. Women under the age of 50 are three times more likely to die of a heart attack post-operatively than men. Only 18 percent of heart disease cases are hereditary.

Description: WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The number of Medicare beneficiaries who have coverage for catastrophic drug costs in 2006 would dramatically increase under the soon-to-be-implemented Medicare prescription drug program, research released today shows. The study indicates that the number of seniors who would be paying more than $4,000 in annual out-of-pocket drug costs -- and who would not have any coverage for these catastrophic costs -- would decrease from more than 1.5 million to just 160,000 nationwide in 2006. Furthermore, the study shows nearly all (98 percent) Medicare beneficiaries could have catastrophic coverage once the new Medicare prescription drug benefit takes effect. Currently, just 52 percent of Medicare beneficiaries have coverage for catastrophic drug costs.

Description: LISLAMABAD: The eyes may be more than the windows to the soul; they may also help doctors predict stroke risk, according to a new Australian study. The seven-year study of nearly 3,700 people aged 49 and older found that people with changes in the small blood vessels in their eyes were 70 percent more likely to suffer a stroke than people without the damage, which includes tiny bulges (microaneurysms) in the blood vessels or tiny blood spots caused by blood leaking from microaneurysms.
