Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for over a quarter of deaths in Britain, yet few qualitative studies have explored beliefs about ‘heart problems’ in the general population. A previous study of lay beliefs about coronary candidacy (or ‘the kind of person who gets heart trouble’) paid little attention to gender. However, semi‐structured interviews with 61 men and women reveal that gender plays a vital role in lay perceptions. Respondents’ accounts of people who were likely ‘candidates’ for heart problems all centred on men. More surprisingly, their accounts of unlikely candidates also focused exclusively on men. Only when specifically asked about relatives, did respondents discuss women with heart problems. While accounts of male ‘victims’ focused on sudden, fatal heart attacks, accounts of women usually concentrated on long‐term CHD morbidity. We argue that CHD continues to be perceived as a male disease and that women remain ‘invisible’ in discourses about heart disease.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
