Heart disease is a broad term that includes many types of heart problems. It is also known as cardiovascular disease, which signifies disease of the heart and blood vessels.
Coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease) is the most common type of heart disease in both men and women. This happens slowly over time as a sticky substance called plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle.
Cardiovascular disease and CAD are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in women. In recent years, it has been noticed that the occurrence and consequences of cardiovascular syndromes differ between genders. However, important issues such as female-specific problems, hormonal influences, and pathophysiological differences remain under-researched, under-diagnosed, and under-recognized. There is a great need for better research, diagnostics, and treatment to improve women's cardiovascular and overall health.
