New York women who suffer from anxiety may be interested to learn that they may be more likely to have a reduced blood flow to the heart during exercise. A study found that those who have an anxiety disorder often have a reduced amount of blood traveling to their heart, which can be an indication of heart-associated diseases.

Researchers have discovered that people in New York and around the country who have obesity hypertension syndrome may not get the proper diagnosis, which could lead to inappropriate care. Commonly, those who have the disorder are diagnosed with other respiratory conditions, and researchers believe that this is contributing to a high mortality rate. The survival rate for those with obesity hypertension syndrome is lower than the five-year survival rate for breast and colon cancer.
