Summary: 
A pamphlet on women's heart health, written by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC). This pamphlet provides relevant statistics on women in Canada and heart health, with a gender-based analysis of the health care system's traditional diagnosis and treatment of heart-attack patients. The pamphlet points to the unbalanced treatment and prevention focused on male patients and symptoms, and describes symptoms that women often experience when suffering from a potential heart attack. The pamphlet also lists methods to prevent heart disease, and further resources available at the VWHC.
