Characteristics may further be described as being interspecific, intraspecific, and conspecific. Interspecific Interspecificity (literally between/among species), or being interspecific, describes issues between individuals of separate species.
Coronary heart disease (CAD) is the most common of many types of heart disease, not only in men but also in women. It is caused by atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, which occurs when plaque from cholesterol and other substances accumulate in the arteries.
Heart disease causes 1 in 3 womenâs deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute. 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Since 1984, more women than men have died each year from heart disease and the gap between men and womenâs survival continues to widen. The symptoms of heart disease can be different in women vs. men, and are often misunderstood.
