Additionally, the author presents a dichotomous depiction of women's symptoms being misdiagnosed as anxiety or depression when they are short of breath or experience fatigue, while ignoring other possible causes for these symptoms such as stress or medication side effects. The article also contains an inflammatory rhetoric by stating that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and that women's symptoms often get misdiagnosed, which can lead to life-threatening consequences.
