Abstract

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a top non-infectious disease that causes more deaths worldwide and it increases progressively over the years. It becomes a burden to low and middle-income countries. The management and treatment of ischemic heart disease have become more challenging due to improper lifestyle, adverse effects of currently available drugs, limited access to various diagnostic methods, genetic variations, and lack of knowledge among healthcare professionals. In this comprehensive survey, the different kinds of diagnostic approaches and modes of therapy, current research, molecular and genetic basis, future directions like integrative therapy and precision medicine, and global health initiatives related to IHD were summarized. This review is based on a literature survey of studies published between 2001 and 2024 using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and relevant website like the World Health Organisation. The main goal of this literature survey is to create awareness that will help healthcare professionals save patients’ lives and aid researchers in developing new molecules to treat IHD.

Keywords
