Precision and Progression: India's Role in Cardiac Care Innovation

Cardiac care has dramatically evolved over the past five decades, beginning with the 1977 balloon angioplasty to today’s precision-guided interventions. This development journey mirrors the broader evolution of medicine, aiming for safer, more personalized patient treatments as seen at the PRISM-PCI Conclave 2026 in India.

Hosted by Meril Life Sciences, the event gathered 300 interventional cardiologists globally to examine the increasing complexity of angioplasty procedures. India's pivotal role as a global medical technology hub was highlighted, showcasing the country's move from merely consuming innovations to becoming a significant contributor.

Speakers emphasized India’s growing influence in cardiac care innovation. Dr. Ashok Seth lauded India’s transition to a key player in technology innovation in cardiovascular disease management, and Dr. Samin Sharma emphasized precision in angioplasty. PRISM-PCI highlighted prevention as essential, stressing the importance of detection and lifestyle changes to combat heart disease in younger populations.
