Research Notes on Depression and Coronary Heart Disease in Women
Depression and coronary heart disease in women is a big problem. Depression is very hard on the heart. It can cause hypertension and a faster heart rate. Women are more prone than men to depression. So their risk of heart disease is higher than men.1
Fast Facts:
- Studies have shown that middle age women may be more prone to depression and eventually heart disease. This is caused by the fluctuations in hormone levels.2
- Exercise can be helpful with both depression and heart disease.3
- Women are diagnosed an average of more than 10 years later than men for heart disease.4
