TEXT. 1

A woman who has heart disease is 50% more likely to die from it than a man who has it. Although experts can point to a number of possible explanations for this, the research on women and heart disease remains inadequate, says the new edition of a Harvard Medical School report, The Healthy Heart: Preventing, detecting, and treating coronary artery disease.

Even though men are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than women, about 38% of women who have a heart attack die within a year of the event, compared with 25% of men. And women are almost twice as likely as men to have a second heart attack within six years of the first.

The science behind the differences is unclear. These are some of the theories discussed in The Healthy Heart:

--Age. Women seem to become more vulnerable to heart disease only after their estrogen levels fall with menopause, and so they tend to suffer first heart attacks later than men. Advanced age may make it more difficult to survive a heart attack.

--Coronary micro vascular disease. This new diagnosis may apply to 50% to 60% of women, compared with 20% of men. These people have chest pain when they are active or stressed, but on angiography, their coronary arteries appear clear. Studies show that women with coronary micro vascular disease have a higher risk for heart attack or stroke.

--Inferior diagnosis and treatment. Some studies suggest women's heart problems don't receive the same attention as men's.

--Incomplete understanding of symptoms. Classic heart attack symptoms were defined based on studies on men. These symptoms don't always occur in women, which may delay diagnosis and treatment.

QUESTIONS

  1. What kind of the healthy heart?
  2. How many percent diagnosis may apply to women and men?
  3. What theories are discussed in the healthy heart?
  4. Who is the report of new edition?
  5. How many years do women probably have a heart attack?

TEXT 2

WHO goal of the strategic approach is to increase awareness, commitment and action towards improving maternal and prenatal health in the region. This document will provide broad guidance to countries wishing to develop or update their own national and local strategies for the improvement of the health of mothers and babies.

This document aims to help policy-makers ensure safe pregnancy and childbirth through equitable and efficient provision of, access to, and use of, quality skilled care for all women and their newborn babies, with special attention to poor and vulnerable groups. The strategic approach depends on a functioning health system and requires a multi-sectored approach, because of the complex set of interactions between many factors that influence maternal and prenatal health outcomes.

This document is intended for a broad audience of policy-makers within government, international agencies, professional associations, non-governmental organizations and other institutions. It is work in progress and will be updated as and when new evidence becomes available or best practices are identified.

QUESTIONS:

  1. What document contents will provide broad guidance to countries wishing to develop?
  2. When strategic approach depends on a functioning health system and a multi-sectored approach?
  3. To whom is document intended to?
  4. When new evidence become available or best practices are identified?
  5. What would be the best title for the text above?

GOOD LUCK!
