Men with angina 'at greater risk'

And guess who is at an even greater risk.
"Men with angina are much more likely than women to develop further serious heart problems, a study suggests.

Researchers found male patients were twice as likely to have a heart attack and almost three times as likely to suffer a heart disease-related death.

Angina, a type of chest pain, is common and can be the first sign of heart disease - but the risks are unclear...

The same factors - along with obesity - were also associated with a higher risk of dying from heart disease."
