The death rate will be highly increased in the underdeveloped and developing countries. It is true that the treatment cost of CAD is very expensive, so the majority of the population of our country can not afford the cost. For these reasons the mission of our organization will be taking effective steps for the cardiac care, prevention, rehabilitation and research works for a better future of our population.
