Death is the first "symptom" of a heart attack in nearly half of all male victims and in more than six of every 10 female victims. Together, coronary heart disease and cancers of the colon, breast and cervix are responsible for almost 600,000 deaths in the United States each year. The real tragedy is that many of these deaths could be prevented by early diagnosis.
