Historical Bias in Medical Research

Historically, heart disease has been predominantly studied in men, leading to a bias in understanding its symptoms and progression. This male-centric research has inadvertently shaped the perception of heart disease as a 'man’s illness', sidelining women's experiences and symptoms, which can differ significantly from men's. This historical oversight means women's symptoms are often overlooked or misinterpreted.
