Women have 'same heart symptoms' (Canada)

"It is a myth that women have different heart attack symptoms from men, according to Canadian researchers. A study presented at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress found no gender differences in symptoms after studying 305 patients undergoing angioplasty. They say it is a commonly held belief that men and women feel the effects of a heart attack differently. Dr Beth Abramson, of Canada's Heart and Stroke Foundation, said: "Heart disease is an equal-opportunities killer." - BBC
