The Facts are Sobering
- Heart disease is the single largest killer of American women.
- One in five women have some form of cardiovascular disease.
- More than one-third of women who suffer heart attacks die within that first year.
Know the Symptoms
In addition to chest pain, when a woman has a heart attack her symptoms may be vague and quite different from men's. They can include chest discomfort/pressure/burning, pain spreading to the shoulders/neck/jaw/arm/back, abdominal pain, nausea, unexplained shortness of breath or sweating, and profound fatigue. If you have these symptoms, call 911 or go to the Emergency Room.
