According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, ischaemic heart disease accounted for 13.7% of reported deaths in 2021, making it a significant concern in Malaysia.
Other forms of heart conditions include heart valve disease and heart arrhythmia, contributing to the overall burden of heart diseases in the country.
‘Other reasons women are typically underdiagnosed and undertreated is due to how women frequently downplay their symptoms due to a lack of awareness leading to a delayed presentation,’ says Dr Tan. Dr Tan further elaborates, “In the context of women's health, there are specific factors to consider. Pregnancy-related factors such as gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension and preterm delivery, along with past breast cancer treatments, particularly radiation to the left chest, can further elevate the likelihood of heart disease.”
There are also advances in imaging techniques in particular cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to further aid clinical diagnosis and facilitate better understanding of the underlying disease process which in turn helps the clinician in deciding the best appropriate treatment for each individual patient.Regular check-ups can help monitor heart health and catch potential issues early, allowing for timely interventions.
