   A radical new surgery procedure launched, not long ago in india is holding out fresh hope for patients of cardiac myopathy, or enlargement of the heart. The technique new in india, allows patients to go home two weeks after the operation to lead a near normal sedentary life. Cardiac myopathy is a condition that has a variety of causative factors. An attack from one of the 20 identified viruses, parasite infection, long term alcohol abuse and blood pressure could bring it on, and in rare cases, it could follow child birth and is even known to run in families. The condition is marked by an increase in the size of heart’s chambers and a decrease in the efficiency of pumping.
   

1. 
   Cardiac myopathy is hereditary
   
2. 
   The cardiac myopathy slows down the heart beat

   Indian rice exporters might face tough competition in the international market, allege exporters. International demand for Indian rice surfaced, either due to its lower prices or due to the crop failure in other competitive countries. However our competitors are having a good crop of rice this year and which indeed sounds as a threat for india, they pointed out. The leading producing countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, usa and Pakistan are bringing down their prices at par with Indian prices. Internationally, these countries have reduced their prices by 50/tones in lower grades, coming almost at par with Indian prices. Indian rice is currently quoting between 260 and 265 per tone. However, in high grade, the difference still remains high. Therefore, india can expect to be competitive in high grades provided the quality and deliveries are ensured in time. Pakistan is our main competitor and it has reduced it prices by 15% coming almost in line with Indian prices. The very fact that international producers have started to reduce their prices is a signal for Indian exporters to gear up for 2006-07.
