More than 60 million women in the U.S. live with cardiovascular disease. And despite the myth that heart attacks mostly strike men, women are vulnerable too. About 37,000 women die from heart attacks each year. Doctors say there are ways to reduce your risk such as eating right, exercising and controlling blood pressure. And they urge women to learn the symptoms of heart attacks, which can be more subtle for them and go beyond chest pain or pressure. If these symptoms strike, call an ambulance. Doctors say any delays in getting the right care could be harmful.
Teen who ate spicy tortilla chip died of high chile consumption and had a heart defect, autopsy says
An autopsy of a Massachusetts teen who died after participating in a spicy tortilla chip challenge says his death was caused by eating a large quantity of chile pepper extract. The results obtained by The Associated Press also note that 14-year-old Harris Wolobah had a congenital heart defect. Harris died on Sept. 1, 2023, after eating the Paqui chip. The autopsy lists the cause of death as cardiopulmonary arrest "in the setting of recent ingestion of food substance with high capsaicin concentration." Capsaicin is the component that gives chile peppers their heat. The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment Thursday to the Hershey Co., which owns Paqui. Paqui pulled the product from store shelves shortly after Harris' death.

Getting more morning light can help reset your circadian rhythm and get sleep that's vital for good health.

COVID-19 has taken a toll on the nation's heart health but how profound is only starting to emerge. Heart attack deaths spiked early in the pandemic, erasing years of progress in battling cardiovascular disease. Then research showed that for up to a year after a bout of COVID-19, some people can develop problems ranging from blood clots to irregular heartbeats to a heart attack. It's not clear why and doctors still are grappling with how to help.
