France 3 invited Prof. Claire Mounier-Vehier, MD, to present Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation (Agir pour le Cœur des Femmes) and its three missions: Alert – Anticipate – Act. She also answered questions from viewers about the necessity of seeing a doctor during this period based on the different symptoms they may be feeling. Women must be on the lookout for heart attack symptoms, especially if they have risk factors like shortness of breath when doing daily activities, chest pain, digestive problems, indigestion or anxiety. They shouldn’t hesitate to see their doctor or go to the hospital. Everything is completely safe.
