“…[20]. The survey performed in Argentina reported similar findings with 54% and 20% for cancer (general and breast) and CVD, respectively [21]. Based on these data, Chilean women appear to have the most significant gap for awareness between CVD and cancer as the leading cause of death.…”

“…By contrast, Latin American women are still unaware that CVD is the leading cause of death in them. As it has been demostrated in our study, as well as in two other surveys, one conducted in Uruguay and the other in Argentina [20,21]. In the study from Uruguay, 59% of the participants responded that cancer (both general and breast) was the leading cause of death compared with 12% who answered CVD Data from national statistics are derived from National Institute of Statistics (INE): mortality in women ≥35 years by all causes [12].…”

Background: Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in Latin American women, limited data exist on CVD perceptions in this population. This study aimed to assess CVD awareness and knowledge of women from Santiago, Chile. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in women 35 to 70 years old. A multistage probability sampling (stratified by age and socioeconomic level) was used for participant selection. Participants completed a home survey about knowledge of CVD, risk factors, and perceived risk (based on standardized questions from the American Heart Association awareness survey). Results: 723 women participated in the study (mean age: 51 ± 9 years; 17.6% with high education level). Only 9.3% of the respondents mentioned CVD as women's primary health problem, whereas 22.7% and 16.1%, respectively, listed breast cancer and other cancers. When asked to identify the leading cause of women's death, only 14.4% identified CVD compared to 69.1% who recorded cancer. Older women (≥ 55 years) more likely identified CVD as the main cause of death: (OR 2.9: 95% CI = 1.8-4.5) versus younger women (<55 years). CVD family history was also associated with higher awareness of CVD as the leading cause of death (OR 1.7: 95% IC; p = 1.1-2.6). Instead, women with middle education level were less likely to mention CVD as the main women's killer. Conclusions: Chilean women from Santiago have a low awareness of CVD as the leading cause of death and do not recognize CVD as their prominent health problem. Efforts should focus on increasing awareness and knowledge about CVD especially in young women.

“…24,25 Igual que en otros estudios, los cánceres femeninos se señalan con más frecuencia, 7,24 pues las mujeres vulnerables visualizan menos la EC, no la identifican como un problema de salud que afecta a las mujeres y perciben el dolor de pecho como un problema emocional.…”

“…En Chile, la ECV es también la principal causa de muerte en mujeres (31%) según los resultados publicados por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística en 2015, superando la mortalidad debida a patologías oncológicas 2 . Esta característica epidemiológica también se observa en otros países como Argentina, Uruguay, México y Estados Unidos, donde también existe una percepción en las mujeres de que su principal causa de muerte es la enfermedad oncológica, especialmente el cáncer de mama [3][4][5][6] . En 2004, la Asociación Americana del Corazón (AHA) creó una campaña llamada "Go Red for Women" con el fin de aumentar el conocimiento de la salud cardiovascular en las mujeres y cambiar su propia percepción sobre este tema 7 .…”

Perception of cardiovascular disease as a cause of mortality among working womenBackground: Most women perceive oncological disease as their principal cause of death. However, it has been shown that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is currently the leading cause of mortality in women in developed countries.Aim: to evaluate how this perception has changed in relation to health education campaigns present in Chile during the study period. Method: A survey was performed in 2007 (n= 409)and repeated in 2016 (n=431), including women working at a health institution, divided in 2 groups: professionals with a university degree (U) or health administrative and technical workers (W). The overall perception of CVD as a cause of death increased from 20% in 2007 to 37% in 2016 (p<0.01). The increase in the % of women perceiving CVD as main cause of death was greater in W women (14% to 34%, p<0.01) than in U women (39% to 44%, NS). Oncological diseases, mainly breast cancer, continued to be perceived as the main mortality cause in both groups of women in 2016. Conclusion:Although significant, the increase in % of women naming CVD as the main cause of death at a health institution was relatively small. Campaigns to increase the awareness of the significance of CVD in women should probably be revised
