The heart is the bodily organ most vital to sustaining life. Maintaining the heart's rhythmic function is therefore the most fundamental concern of health-care professionals. Focusing on cardiovascular-related medical devices since its establishment in 1981, Japan Lifeline Co., Ltd. is the nation's leading specialized importer of heart and circulatory care equipment.

Cardiac disease is among the three leading causes of death in Japan, along with cancer and cerebrovascular disease. The incidence of cardiac disease is growing, moreover, reflecting not only the aging of Japanese society but also rising stress levels and changing eating habits among the younger generations, which increase the risk of developing cardiac disease.

On the other hand, diagnostic advances are enabling early detection and treatment of certain types of cardiac disease that until recently were incurable.

Japan Lifeline supplies state-of-the-art cardiovascular-related medical devices from the world's top makers, including cardiac pacemakers, prosthetic heart valves, vascular grafts, coronary dilatation balloon catheters, and other medical devices. We also develop our own products. Our guiding mission is to equip medical professionals with the most advanced means of restoring the health and enhancing the quality of life of cardiac patients in Japan.
