When is Women's Heart Week?

From February 1 to February 7.

What is Women's Heart Week?

Women's Heart Week, held in the United States in the first week of February, raises awareness of heart disease, the leading cause of death among American women. It is promoted by the Women's Heart Foundation and falls at the start of American Heart Month, alongside National Wear Red Day. The week stresses that women's heart attack symptoms can differ from men's, such as shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue or pain in the back or jaw, and encourages checks of blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.

How to celebrate
