“In India, cardiac illness in general is on the rise and women in particular are more prone for complications of the same and are less likely to receive prompt care. Cardiac disease is the main cause of death in women, even above breast cancer,” a statement issued by the Mysuru chapter of Cardiological Society of India read.
