Mr. Speaker, February is Heart Month, and yesterday was Valentine's Day. What better time to discuss a matter near and dear to my heart, women's cardiac health? Forty per cent of Canadians are unaware that heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of premature death in women. In fact, only 11% of women can tell if they have had a heart attack. Most cardiac research is about men: chest pain going into the neck and into the left arm. Heart attacks in women present differently, such as discomfort in the jaw, shoulder or belly, nausea or vomiting, often mimicking heartburn. If a woman has these signs, someone should call 911 immediately. Learning CPR can double her chance of survival. Please visit heartandstroke.ca. The life one saves may be a woman one loves.
