?Wear Red Day is to bring awareness to the fact that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. That’s approximately one woman every minute!
• Women are less likely to call 911 when they believe they may be having heart attack symptoms.
• Women’s heart attack symptoms are different from men’s. Many feel no chest pain. Instead, they may experience shortness of breath, nausea, palpitations, jaw pain or overwhelming fatigue.
• When women ages 25-60 get an annual physical, only 40% of them have their heart health assessed during these visits.
