Heart disease is not just a man's problem—it significantly affects women too. Dr. Anjan Siotia Director of Cardiology, at BM Birla Heart Research Centre highlights that many women experience subtle symptoms like fatigue, nausea, and shortness of breath, often leading to delayed diagnosis. The hospital’s cardiology department emphasizes that post-menopausal women are at higher risk of conditions like coronary microvascular disease and cardiomyopathy. Raising awareness, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and recognizing early warning signs are crucial for better heart health in women.
