Heart Attack Symptoms In Women
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among U.S. women. It affects 1 in 10 females over age 18. In light of the recent uncertainty about heart attack symptoms in women, NIH-funded researchers examined 69 studies published over 35 years. The studies ranged from large clinical trials to smaller studies and patient interviews. |

A new study looked at the available evidence and concluded that chest pain is the most common sign of heart attack for most women.
