It doesn’t always start with a sudden accident.

No spectacular collapse.

No screams worthy of a Hollywood movie.

A heart attack often begins quietly.

With a wave of inexplicable fatigue.

A dull pressure in the chest, mistakenly attributed to heartburn.

Tension in the jaw after climbing stairs.

And because the symptoms are mild or familiar, they are ignored.

But what if your body is trying to warn you?

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide.

And most heart attacks don’t strike suddenly.

They are preceded by subtle and silent signs, sometimes days or weeks in advance.
