Given that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, and presents differently in women than men (to the point where women are dying because they are expecting their heart attacks to conform to those experienced by males), then why the holy fuck are a major public body screwing up basic biology in a campaign that supposedly is trying to prevent avoidable deaths?
And if they can't get biology right here, what else are they screwing up?
