Interesting Article About Women and Heart Health

http://health.usnews.com/health-news/family-health/heart/articles/2011/02/01/new-campaign-urges-women-to-know-signs-of-heart-attack

I came across this article about women and heart health, which was really interesting to read after last week's presentation about women and heart disease by Dr. Tremmel.

The article says:

"According to the American Heart Association, only 53 percent said they would call 911 even if they thought they were having a heart attack, which is why the federal government is starting a new campaign called Make the Call, Don't Miss A Beat."

It's pretty scary thought that someone may think that they are having a heart attack, but still not call for help. Hopefully this campaign will be successful!
