MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Vimo.com, the Internet's leading comparison-shopping site for healthcare, joins Americans in their battle against cardiovascular disease with a focused campaign during February, American Heart Month. During the entire month of February, consumers can visit to quickly find the most affordable and experienced hospital in their area for dozens of common heart procedures, including angioplasty, pacemaker placement and even transplants. Access to this and all of Vimo's databases are free.
Chini Krishnan, founder and CEO of Vimo, says "Lots of people have insurance that requires them to pay a significant portion of their hospital expenses. So it really pays to shop around for heart procedures. Two hospitals in the same city can differ on price by tens of thousands of dollars for the same operation. Vimo's free service can show you which hospital performs the most procedures, and which is the most affordable."
* Aortic aneurysm repairs * Balloon angioplasties * Cardiac arrhythmia treatments * Coronary bypass operations * Deep vein thrombosis treatments * Defibrillator placements * Endocarditis procedures * Heart attack treatments * Heart or heart-lung transplants * Hypertension treatments * Pacemaker placements * Stenting procedures * Valve repairs or replacements * Vein ligations or stripping * Open heart surgeries... and many others.

Vimo is proud to join the fight by providing free, accurate and objective information on the most affordable and experienced sources of cardiac care."
