As reported by the Lancet Commission, cardiovascular disease ranks as the primary cause of mortality in women, accounting for 35% of annual deaths globally.
Women’s health is often taken for granted. Women tend to keep their health at bay whilst busy in the daily hustle of life. But, times seem to be changing and people are now paying more attention to their health. Health trends have been increasing and people are already on the latest fads. And in such time of trends, having proper knowledge about body is important.

This highlights the need for women to prioritize their heart health.
