    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on a study from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, which suggests that more females than males die of heart disease due to the small vessel heart disease. It states that with small vessel heart disease, the vessels fail to expand properly and even may get smaller during physical or emotional stress. It adds that when heart disease is suspected and not evident with traditional diagnostic tests, female patients should consider finding hospital with expertise in small vessel heart disease or cardiovascular disease in women.
