Women Risk Lives By Delaying Calling 999 - British Heart Foundation Launches 999 Day To Raise Awareness Of Heart Attack Symptoms

A third of women wouldn't recognise they are suffering a heart attack because they would expect to experience crushing or severe chest pain (33%), a symptom which mainly affects men, according to survey results (1) released by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) on 999 Day - a drive to raise awareness of the need to call 999 at the first sign of a heart attack.
