How does gender affect one's risk ok developing heart disease

How does gender affect one's risk ok developing heart disease?

I don't think it does, but i think it is more common in males in females.
2 :
yes. that's the number one killer of women.
3 :
Guys have more testosterone so their heart can pump better and it's bigger in size, so there's less of a chance of heart disease.
4 :
Don't know...but I do know your risk of DYING from heart disease is far greater if you're a female. This is thought to be due more to the medical community's inattention to female symptoms than from any difference in disease severity. (looks like you may be on the winning side of that part of the equation) Oh...and menopause plays a role in women's heart health...so gender may be not entirely applicable as a basis...you might have to split it into pre- and post-menopausal gender areas. (I know estrogen provides some protective effects...for instance, estrogen grabs cholesterol out of the bloodstream and turns it into fat. Once you lose your estrogen, you lose that benefit.)
5 :
Gender affects the risk of heart disease because the hormones that naturally occur in men and women promote different patterns of fat deposit. Testosterone promotes the development of fat in the abdominal region, which is more detrimental to your heart than storing fat in the thighs, arms, and buttocks. After menopause, women tend to develop exactly the same risk of heart disease as men, just typically later in life
