Heart disease treatments tend to favor men over women
Women are more likely to die of heart disease than breast cancer in the United States. In fact, about 50 percent of the women in this country will die of heart attack.
That was the message of Dr. David Lorah, a family practitioner from Glenwood Springs who spoke at the second annual Women Connecting in Health luncheon hosted by the Valley View Hospital Foundation.
"Heart disease is the number one killer of women," Lorah said.
Even more dramatic than the statistics was the story of retired nurse Mary Trotta, who lives 15 miles up the Fryingpan River.
About three months ago, Trotta was out on a walk with a friend and her baby, pushing the stroller, when she felt some tightness in her chest. "It was just a little discomfort," she said.
Lap of luxury: Pets are living the good life
Snooze through the day until someone comes home. Go for a walk. Have dinner. Lie around the house. Maybe play a little ball. If you haven't perfected one of those activities, relax, there's time tomorrow. And the best part is, the pets don't have to work hard to get this treatment. Be cute and furry, and the attention comes. Attention to pets is a business -- or addiction --that has led to the marketing of strollers for dogs, resorts and pet hotels where furry clients get 24/7 attention, and medical care that includes high-tech testing to detect possible problems. .
