The study headline
This Just In: a new study finds that individuals experience sex-specific symptoms before impending cardiac arrest. You can guess what that means.
What the study analyzed
Oh yeah, it was really quite exciting. Our study analyzed emergency-room calls with over 400 cardiac arrests, where someone was there to confirm the symptoms they felt beforehand.
Reported sex-specific symptoms
And get this: in men, the cardiac arrest was first associated with feeling symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, and excess sweating.
But in women, the only associated symptom was shortness of breath.
What a sex difference.
