An analysis of more than 5700 cardiac arrests in the Netherlands has found that only 68 per cent of women received a resuscitation attempt from a bystander, compared with 73 per cent of men (European Heart Journal, ). This may be because symptoms more commonly reported by women than men – such as fainting, fatigue and vomiting – are less obvious than chest pain.
