   Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of U.S. women, but many women and even physicians still believe the myth that it is primarily a problem for men, said Kim Cash, a spokeswoman for Oklahoma's American Heart Association chapters.
   
   "I'll be glad when I won't hear any more stories from women who have gone to the emergency room having a heart attack, and when they ask if they could be having one, the doctors just look at them like they're crazy," she said.
   ...
   Many physicians diagnose heartburn or other ailments when women come to them with chest pain or other symptoms of heart disease, Cash said.
   
   "There are still doctors who blame women's symptoms on stress.They say: 'It's in your head.You're just stressed out,' " she said.
   
   And often, a woman who smokes and who has hypertension or a woman who is obese and has diabetes is not counseled by her health-care provider about heart disease, Cash said.
   
   "Part of the problem is educating health-care providers about women and heart disease," she said.
   
   But women share a responsibility in educating themselves about heart disease, Cash said.
   
   "Many women know they're a size 6 at SteinMart and a size 8 at Dillard's, but they don't know their cholesterol numbers," she said.
   
   Eighty percent of heart disease is preventable if certain risk factors are eliminated or controlled, such as high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes, she said.
