A woman can find out whats causing her heart disease by doing a testing. There are many sophisticated tests, for example of the blood, that will tell them whether there is inflammation with c-reactive protein, homocysteine that could be damaging the internal lining of the arteries, LDL cholesterol and what sub-fraction of that that they have and whether thats oxidized LDL cholesterol, the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6. All these tests would be indications of risk or resiliency from heart disease.
