  Introduction:

 
     According to estimates, every year about a million people in India lose their lives due to heart-related diseases and disorders. While the figure sounds alarming, more threatening is the fact that the country has very few professionally managed and  
  well-equipped hospitals to cater to the ever-increasing number of heart patients. As the live wire team states, " We believe in EVIDENCE BASED, rather than opinion based medicine". While following the latest international AHA/ACC guidelines, all the angiographies and angioplasties performed, abide by the guidelines laid down by the American Heart Association, with appropriate indications only.
