According to recent studies, certain groups are more likely to be affected by heart disease. These include:

People with diabetes or high blood pressure
Common signs and symptoms of heart disease in women include:
Chest pain or discomfort
Shortness of breath
Fatigue or weakness
Pain in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach

Dr. Elliott emphasizes that ignoring these warning signs can lead to serious consequences, including heart attack and even death.
