From the page: "Researchers conducted in-depth telephone interviews with 30 women who had had a heart attack, within seven days of their being discharged from the hospital, about what had happened to them. The average age of the women was -- not the age you might associate with heart disease. Many of the women said they didn't realize their symptoms could be due to a heart problem, or that they were even at risk of heart disease.
The study, presented by researchers from Yale School of Medicine at a recent meeting of the American Heart Association, found that women who had a heart attack often got atypical symptoms, such as neck and shoulder pain, discomfort that was easy to mistake for indigestion, or unusual fatigue."
Read and heed.
