The American Heart Association and several other national sponsors are urging women to “Go Red for Women” Day this Friday. Women can supposedly go to www.GoRedForWomen.org and complete an online assessment of their heart health; however, I couldn't get into the assessment. There is a “Go Red for Women” brochure available on steps to take for heart health and you can click here to access it.
On a personal note, the 60-year-old wife of a dear family friend visited her physician last week because she had a pain in her shoulder and was not feeling well. The physician sent her home; a few hours later she called her husband at work because she was feeling worse. He quickly drove home and transported her to the ER. Yes, you're correct in thinking that she was having a heart attack; unfortunately, she had a second heart attack shortly after being admitted. She did receive treatment (stents) and, I'm happy to report, is now in fair condition. Women, please educate yourselves on this important issue, click here for American Heart Association information on heart attack warning signs.
