According to the Women's Haert Foundation, 1.5 million heart attacks occur in the United States each year with 500,000 deaths. More than 233,000 women die annually from cardiovascular disease. A heart attack happens about every 20 seconds with a death about every minute caused by a heart attack. Sudden death is more common among women with heart attack.
Premenopausal women have sudden vasospasm in the absence of progesterone's dampening effect on twichy estrogen receptors. A younger woman's heart attack, sudden vasospasm, damages the heart because the clamping down of the heart's arteries and veins, constricting and shutting off blood flow, creating the white knuckle effect you see in your hand when you make a really tight fist. When the heart muscle is deprived of blood and the oxygen it carries, it dies. Men's heart attacks cause oxygen deprivation to the muscle, too.
In men, because they've eaten too much of the planet, a heart attack is "environmental." On their way to a heart attack, first their kidneys are affected by the constant water retention of a high-carbohydrate diet. You need a lot of water to hibernate, so the more sugar you eat, the more water you retain (that's why on a high-protein, no-carbohydrate diet, the first ten to fifteen pounds of weight loss is actually stored water.)
High insulin from long light and too many carbohydrates also mean high seratonin. Seratonin is a vasoconstrictor and controls blood clotting. During the mating season, when fighting among men would be more likely, seratonin is always high perhaps to keep men from bleeding to death. Water retention, together with elevated seratonin narrowing arteries and veins, creates a disease state known as hypertension.
The hormones from the kidney, angiotensin I and II, that report to the heart how hard and fast to pump the blood must alter this feedback loop when chroinic subclinical hypertension damages the heart. That heppens when your blood pressure doesn't fluxtuate normally but instead stays high, never giving the heart a break. This heavy workload causes the left side of the heart muscle to "overdevelop" to compensate. When this happens, hypertension has led to left ventricular hypertrophy. The damage is irreversible and makes the heart work even harder because its symmetry is altered.
