About

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. It is responsible for one-third of deaths in people over 35 years old, with the percentage reaching close to 50% (according to some estimates) in western countries.

The existing treatment is medical, surgical or a combination of both depending on the extent, severity and clinical presentation of CAD & .There has been significant progress made in developing novel strategies for patients suffering from CAD and its associated complications. These strategies have ranged from drugs to robotic surgery to nanotechnology.
