Even though Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in American women, a new study says that women are less likely than men to get the appropriate treatment at the appropriate time.
 

Women receive fewer interventions to prevent and treat heart disease including:

Fewer cholesterol screenings

Fewer lipid-lowering therapies

Less use of heparin, beta blockers, and aspirin during heart attack

Fewer referrals to cardiac rehabilitation
