Noted heart specialist Dr Rishi Sethi said to Citizen News Service – CNS in an exclusive interview: “Every year, the American College of Cardiology recognizes selected cardiologists from around the world- based on their long term contribution to the field of cardiology- and inducts them as a Fellow of American College of Cardiology (FACC).”
