Wear Red Canada Day

Today is #WearRedCanada Day, a day that emphasizes and raises awareness for women’s heart and vascular health. ❤

Cardiovascular diseases affect one out of every three women worldwide, yet women everywhere are under-studied, under-diagnosed, under-treated, and under-aware when it comes to their heart and vascular health.

While they are difficult for some to recognize, the symptoms of heart attack most often reported by women include:

• shortness of breath
• abnormal excessive sweating
• chest pain or discomfort (pressure, tightness or burning)
• stomach pain or discomfort, or feelings of nausea or indigestion
• pain in the jaw, neck, arm or back
