🫀From Science Daily: According to University of Florida College of Nursing associate professor Jennifer Dungan, many of the current symptom profiles and lab tests for heart disease do not accurately reflect known differences in women's heart disease. This oversight has led to increased gaps in health care equity. "Because of this disparity, women are more likely than men to report heart disease symptoms that appear out of the norm, experience delayed treatment for heart disease and even have undiagnosed heart attacks," Dungan said. "For reasons that remain uncertain, women can experience heart disease differently than men. This can lead to inequities for women that need to be addressed." The article goes into detail about the importance of the RAP1GAP2 gene which manages the activity of platelets, colorless blood cells that help our blood clot. An overactive version of this gene could result in the blood over-clotting resulting in a significant heart attack risk; however this gene is not connected to poor heart outcomes in men. How do you think this discovery could affect our ability to predetermine heart attack risk in women?
