It is important to know that there is a wide range of heart attack symptoms. Though the most common symptom of a heart attack is chest pain, there are many other warning signs. Women are more likely than men to have unusual or atypical signs of heart disease.
The Sister to Sister Foundation, a national 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is dedicated to preventing heart disease in women by:
- Offering women free cardiac screenings to promote early detection and treatment of heart disease and its risk factors
- Increasing awareness of heart disease as the #1 killer of women in the United States
- Helping women make healthy lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of heart disease
To learn more about the risks of heart disease for women and important steps to reduce your risks for heart disease (information provided by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) visit the Sister to Sister Foundation’s website.
