For decades, heart disease death rates have been falling. But a new study shows a troubling turn: more women under 45 are dying of heart disease due to clogged arteries, and the death rate for men that age has leveled off. Due to inflammation from autoimmune diseases.

Young women who suffer from heart disease are in all age groups even young.

Heart experts they think increasing rates of autoimmune diseases and inflammation are to blame. Many young women who run and exercise daily even marathon runners are havening a sudden death it is due to low essential fatty acids,  full details in our e.book but low EFA promote abnormal cardiac pacemaker rhythm and thus the sudden death.

The women suffer from more stress and have higher inflammation, which has to be lowered by increasing the folate rich diet from fruits and vegetables.

The rates have been  monitored and this is the beginning of a  trend.  An early glimpse of the impact of  diabetes on U.S. deaths, said Wayne Rosamond, a University of North Carolina epidemiology professor and expert on heart disease statistics. "This could be a harbinger of things to come," Rosamond said.

From 1980 through 2002, the death rate from heart arteries was cut in half for men and women over 35. Improvements in treatment and preventive measures, including diet changes exercise, get the credit.

But what's going on with younger adults is startling, said Dr. Anthony DeMaria, editor of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, which  published a study .

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing almost 700,000 Americans each year.

Nearly 500,000 of those deaths are attributed to coronary heart disease, in which fat and plaque clog the arteries feeding blood to the heart, sometimes called hardening of the arteries. Heart attacks are a common result.

It can take many years for arteries to get dangerously blocked. About 93 percent of deaths occur in people 55 and older.

But a combination of factors, diet, exercise, genetics, obesity, inflammation, hypertension and cholesterol are sometimes fatal for younger adults. In 2002, about 25,000 men and 8,000 women ages 35 to 54 died of coronary heart disease. A common cause of heart disease is inflammation rather then lipids. (Ik)

Heart disease deaths up for women, down for men.

The study was done by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Control and Prevention and Britain's University of Liverpool. They looked at U.S. vital statistics for artery-related deaths in adults ages 35 and older for the years 1980 through 2002, the most recent year for which data was available when the analysis was done.

When they compared age groups, they detected the worrisome difference. The study found the death rate for women ages 35 to 44 rose from 1997 to 2002, when the rate was 8.2 per 100,000 women, the highest it's been since 1987.

In actual numbers, the increase amounts to roughly 100 added deaths a year of women in that age group. That's a relatively small impact in the entire U.S. population.

Still, the results are statistically significant and a legitimate cause for concern, said Dr. Wayne Giles, director of the CDC's division of adult and community health.

"That's like an Jet full of women crashing every year," .

The rates for men age 35 to 44 were relatively stable in the last few years of the study period. The rate was 26 deaths per 100,000 men in that age group in 2002.

For all ages, the female death rate fell to 261 to 514 per 100,000; the male rate fell to 430 from 898 per 100,000.
