Clinical courses

The Chennai based Frontier Lifeline Hospital (FLL) and The Institute for Atherosclerosis Research, Moscow in Russia,  merge for a collaborative research agreement to study the ‘genetic similarities causing heart diseases in Russians & Indians’.

Heart disease is the most common cause of death across the globe. Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. There is an increasing incidence of heart attacks both in India and Russia. In order to study if there are any genetic similarities between Indians and Russians, the two institutions have joining hands together  for scientific collaboration.  Under this partnership, they will jointly develop research projects, clinical studies, and strategies in the area of genetic similarities collectively aimed at improving the quality of health and also to speed up the development of potential new therapies for patients with heart diseases.

Approximately 10 per cent of heart diseases are due to genetic abnormalities. The present research is aimed at analyzing any genetic abnormality that may predispose to developing heart attacks by studying gene mutations in atherosclerosis. This formal MoU between India and Russia will be a major step in the field of medical science and technology to prevent heart attacks.
