Women Missing Out on Heart Disease Diagnoses, Treatments

ABC News: Women Missing Out on Heart Disease Diagnoses, Treatments: "TUESDAY, Feb. 1 (HealthDayNews) � Women often miss out on lifesaving diagnoses and treatments for heart disease, even though it kills them more often than any other illness.
That's the unequivocal message of several studies appearing in a themed issue of the journal Circulation, which is being released at a news conference Tuesday to coincide with the beginning of American Heart Month. Friday is National Wear Red Day, when the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association and others ask Americans to wear something red to show support for the fight against women's heart disease."
