Description:
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women (causing 1 in 3 deaths each year), and it kills five times more women than breast cancer.

Plus the early warning signs of heart attacks are being missed in 78% of women. When we think of heart attacks, we think of the traditional symptoms: chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating. However, women can experience heart attacks through a variety of other symptoms that can be misdiagnosed, such as Jaw pain, Lightheadedness, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upper back pain and Shoulder Pain. Why are women’s symptoms being overlooked?

In the 1960s, the use of thalidomide by pregnant women resulted in more than 10,000 children born with severe deformities. As a result, women were excluded from clinical studies for more than 20 years.

During that time, medical research and clinical studies focused on white, middle-aged males; the resulting data and research still inform clinical guidelines today. This gender inequality has created a disturbing lack of awareness about women's cardiovascular health across the world.   BRIEF: Because of this knowledge gap and the massive lack of data on female bodies and behaviors, millions of women's lives are being cut unnecessarily short. So, we had to get to the heart of the matter to find out and uncover the extent and severity of this problem.
