Register Now Overview Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a growing health issue in India, especially among women. Angina—the most common symptom—often feels like chest pressure or pain and severely impacts quality of life. In India, atypical symptoms and limited access to care make early diagnosis difficult. Most patients develop stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD), which presents as chronic angina. Early detection is vital to prevent serious outcomes like heart attacks.Women often have less typical symptoms—such as neck, jaw pain, or fatigue—making diagnosis even harder. Alarmingly, while over 11% of Indian adults may have CAD, only 4% are diagnosed. In up to 40% of angina cases, especially in women, microvascular dysfunction is the cause—despite normal-looking arteries.   In this ETHealthworld-Abbott webinar, experts will highlight the need for greater awareness and gender-sensitive approaches to diagnosing and managing women’s heart health.
