Zydus launches India’s First Book on Women and Heart Health

21 Aug 2025

Zydus has marked a ground-breaking milestone with the launch of India’s first-ever book dedicated exclusively to Women and Heart Health, a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming public awareness and clinical understanding of cardiovascular diseases in women.

Supported by Zydus and driven by the passion and commitment of Team Atorva, the book is authored by two of India’s most esteemed cardiologists:
• Dr. Sarita Rao, Senior Interventional Cardiologist and Director of the Cath Lab at Apollo Hospitals, Indore
• Dr. Jyotsna Maddury, Interventional Cardiologist and former Head and Professor of Cardiology at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad

This book is a powerful step forward in addressing the gender gap in cardiac care.

💡 Why It Matters

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women around the world. Yet, it’s often misunderstood or missed during diagnosis.

This book shines a light on the unique cardiovascular risks women face, including:

  • Hormonal changes during menopause
  • Gestational diabetes
  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

By combining expert insights with the latest research, the book aims to empower women, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with the knowledge needed to improve awareness, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes.

🎯 Zydus’ Commitment to Heart Health

This initiative reflects Zydus’ unwavering commitment to advancing heart health and driving meaningful change. It stands as a testament to what can be achieved

through collaboration, compassion, and purpose—and reinforces the belief that awareness is the first step toward better care and healthier lives.

With Team Atorva at the heart of this initiative, Zydus continues to champion innovative efforts that make a lasting impact on public health.
