Since the founding of Japan Lifeline in 1981,we have focused on Japanese cardiac treatment developments and have accumulated extensive know-how in this field. At the same time we have fostered a strong business as a cardiovascular-system-related medical equipment specialist trading company. Presently, cases of cardiac disease (heart related illnesses) are on the rise, and this disease is rated among the three major causes of death along with cancer and cerebrovascular disease. On the other hand, advances are being made in treatment technique and early discovery technique. Many cardiac diseases that were once thought of as difficult to treat are now considered to be treatable. Against this backdrop was born the theme of Quality of Life, striving to make every day life as comfortable as possible for patients after they receive treatment. By facing the Quality of Life issue by providing the newest medical equipment, Japan Lifeline is contributing to the further development of medical treatment.
