INTRODUCTION: According to projections, 17.9 million deaths globally in 2019—or 32% of all fatalities—were caused by Cardia vascular disease. 85 percent of these deaths were caused by heart attacks and strokes. Nearly 75% of cardia vascular disease deaths take place in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Of the 17 million non- communicable disease-related fatalities that occurred in the globe in 2019 (under the age of 70), 38 percent were caused by Cardia vascular disease. The 95% of cardiovascularmay be prevented by addressing recidivism including smoking, poor eating habits, obesity, inactivity, and excessive alcohol use.(1) METHODOLOGY: In the present study non-experimental descriptive apporch.

The mean of the level of knowledge regarding angina pectoris among adults is 13.22 with SD is ± 1.75.(3) CONCLUSION :Age, gender, relationship status, education, and employment were demographic factors that did not substantially affect knowledge score since the p value was more than 0.05. No statistically significant correlation between each of the chosen demographic data and adult Angina Pectoris was seen.
