Chandigarh, March 2

The PGI got accolades for transmitting a live procedure of a complex coronary angioplasty from the Advanced Cardiac Centre to the “India Live 2020” conference held from February 27 to March 1 at New Delhi.

The conclave was attended by about 2,000 cardiologists, which included many eminent faculty members from India and abroad.

Prof Rajesh Vijayvergiya with his team performed and transmitted a live case of a rarest kind from the catheterisation lab of the Cardiac Centre, PGI, to the conference venue. He said the patient was having heart pain from the past six months, for which angiography revealed an extremely rare congenital anomaly, in which all the three coronary arteries were arising from one side, which is termed as “single coronary”. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
