    Men are much more likely to suffer heart attacks than women under age 65, but after 65 the rates become more equal. Over half a million heart attacks occur annually in men aged 45-64, comprising over 420,000 cases. While rare in women under 45, heart attacks increase dramatically to 136,000 cases annually for women aged 45-64. After age 65, heart attacks still only slightly increase for men, but there is a huge jump to over 374,000 cases annually for women, who then make up over 40% of all heart attack victims.

    Heart Disease in US

    The graph shows how age and gender influence the frequency of heart attacks in the US. Less than 6% of all heart attacks occur in the 29-44 age group. The number of women who suffer heart attacks in this group is negligible only 3000 per year, compared to 123,000 men. However the proportion of men and women with heart attacks rises dramatically between 45 and 64, with over half a million per year. Over 420,000 men a year in this age group have heart attacks. The incidence amongst women increases - women have one heart attack for every three men in this age group.

    Over the age of 65, the number of men suffering heart attacks only increases slightly. However there is a huge increase in the number of women with heart attacks - they comprise over 40% of all victims.
