“When people have heart attacks in the movies, they clutch their arms to their chests and double over in pain, crying out for help. In reality, the signs of a heart attack are much more subtle. Since symptoms can include mild pressure in the chest, lightheadedness and sweating, it’s often hard for the average person to identify one. That’s what researchers at the Yale School of Medicine found in a study of 24 women 55 and under who’d had heart attacks and were admitted to a hospital. It showed that 42 percent didn’t recognize the warning signs.” (07/31/07)
