Sunday is Wear Red Day, an awareness campaign to support and shine a spotlight on women’s heart health.
The Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre says heart disease is on the rise and is the leading cause of death for women worldwide.
It adds heart attack symptoms are not recognized in over 50 per cent of women.
Symptoms of heart attack most often reported by women include chest pain or discomfort, pain in the jaw, neck, arm, or back, abnormal excessive sweating, and shortness of breath.
Wear Red Day is held every February 13th.
