Heart attacks in women

The British Heart Foundation are campaigning for more people to recognise the signs and symptoms of heart attacks in women. Many people have the misconception that heart attacks only happen to men and this has led to thousands of women failing to realise that they are experiencing a heart attack and consequently not seeking the necessary medical help. The BHF state that coronary heart disease kills more than twice as many women as breast cancer in the UK every year and is the single biggest killer of women worldwide – yet despite this it’s often perceived to be a ‘man’s disease’.
