Women tend
to ignore heart
attack symptoms.
Fortunately, a close call got Jean’s attention.
When Jean Cherry experienced back pain, throbbing in her arm, and
the feeling that she was going to pass out, she recognized these
lesser-known symptoms of heart disease—the number one killer of
women in the U.S.
NHRMC Heart Center had the advanced technology and experienced
cardiac team to repair the blockages in her arteries, and keep her on
a heart-healthy regimen.
So while Jean had a dramatic cardiac event, she’s now enjoying
everyday pleasures: working, volunteering and most important of all:
being a magnifi cent Mimi. And that does everybody’s heart good.
