Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year, and the warning signs for a heart attack in women are not the same as in men. To learn about these warning signs and ways to prevent heart disease, visit www.goredforwomen.org or the American Heart Association’s website at www.heart.org.
