I don't think there is any school of thought that thinks that. Pre-menopausal women are by far, more protected than men of the same age. Women catch up with guys post menopause rather quickly. Heart disease, coronary heart disease, to be more specific, is not a "man's" disease by any stretch of meaning. But men are hugely more susceptible to it than women are, specially in younger ages. Three is no comparison in the men population of 40's and women of the same age as far as number of heart attacks and survival. Over all, men die from coronary heart disease than women in the United States if not the entire world. According to American Heart Association, there were 831,200 deaths from CVS in 2006, one of every 2.9 deaths! 2006 final death rates from CVD were 306.6 for white males and 422.8 for black males; for white females 215.5 and for black females 298.2. (Death rates are per 100,000 population. The rates listed use the year 2000 standard U.S. population as the base for age adjustment.)<br><b>References : </b><br>American Heart Association Pre-menopausal women are not "immune" to heart disease.
