Did you know?...
A woman suffers a heart attack every minute.
Every minute and-a-half, a woman dies from heart disease.
Women over the age of 40 are more likely to die within a year of a heart attack than men.

The aim of this campaign is to educate, engage and empower women and their families to learn the seven most common symptoms of a heart attack and encourage them to call 9-1-1 as soon as those symptoms arise.
