Research conducted by the University of Bonn, in Germany, has found a reason why women are more vulnerable to coronary heart disease.

A receptor for estrogen seems to have a key role in the heart's electrical activity.

Gender-specific therapies may be developed.

A friend had a stroke when she was 45. This event was life altering for her and her family.

There were lots of tears and anger shared between family and friends.

Hopefully, they will come up with something soon. :)
