| Popis: | Coronary artery disease is a persistent public health problem worldwide. Chest pain is one of the perceptible symptoms of the same disease. This study reviewed global insight on epidemiology of coronary artery disease and cardiac chest pain. We first highlighted worldwide prevalence and mortality ratio of coronary artery disease. Then, we discussed epidemiology of risk factors reported for different regions. Statistics on hazards pertaining to chest pain are reported in the aftermost section. This narrative review revealed that despite reduction on the prevalence of coronary artery disease in developed countries, developing regions are at highrisk to endure the disease. Urbanization is considered to be the superseded risk factor for the same. Strategies should be made worldwide to ameliorate treatment of CAD from first onset of its symptom. |
