  • Abstract
    In the recent past, most cases of heart disease in India manifested after the age of 70; however, over the past seven to eight years, heart disease has emerged as a major cause of death in urban as well as in rural areas, killing people as young as 25. Most of these people, especially in rural areas of India, do not know they have a cardiovascular disease (CVD) because access to testing facilities is not widely available. Another problem in India is the lack of cardiologists in many cities to treat patients once they have developed heart disease.
