ABSTRACT
In spite of ischemic heart disease is the second cause of death in Mexican females, and Sonora is one of the most affected entities in the country, there is a gap in preventive and medical care efforts to deal with the rampant increase in prevalence of such a disease among Mexican women. This essay briefly discusses some factors that might contribute to underestimate the magnitude and importance of the problem. It aims to foster future discussion on this topic at the local level.-
