Many patients taken to the hospital have virtually no discernible chest pain which leads to them being treated on a less urgent basis which leads to higher casualties.

According to estimates 42% of women never experienced chest pain, while the figure was 30.7% in the case of men. This puts women as a higher risk group when it comes to painless heart attacks. According to a leading cardiologist, 3 out of 10 people in India have a painless heart attack mostly people who have hypertension and diabetes.
