Are the warning signs of a heart attack different for women?

Heart attack kills six times as many women as breast cancer and is the leading cause of death in women in the United States (Source: National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease). Women may or may not have the classic symptoms of chest pain that men may have. Their symptoms could include: Abdominal pain Difficulty breathing Unexplained fatigue

Since heart attack is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, it is very important to act right away if you have any warning signs.
