Cardiology

The Department of Cardiology came into existence in May 2016 and since then the Department has progressed gradually in clinical care, academic & research and public health awareness.

Clinical: It is renowned high volume cardiac centre in the region for its exceptional patient care and clinical outcomes. Our team of experienced Cardiologists, Nursing officers and Cardiac technicians provide top-tier cardiac services for patients with various heart conditions. Our invasive Lab is equipped with two state-of-the-art Cath labs (Siemens Artis zee Biplane and Philips Azurion 7 AlluraClarity) and modern diagnostic interventions (IVUS – Philips IntraSight with co-registration, OCT- OPTIS^TM, ROTAPRO™ Rotational Atherectomy), with the help of which we ensure round the clock precise cardiac interventions (Coronary and peripheral Angiography and angioplasty, Structural heart interventions (BAV, BPV, BMV, TAVR), Paediatric cardiac interventions including neonates (Cath study, balloon valvulotomy, PDA stenting and device closures etc), EP and pacing services). Non-invasive lab is equipped with five echocardiography machines (Philips EPIQ 7, GE E95 etc), two TMT machines (GE T2100) and ABPM, Holter and ECG services. Our compassionate staff and well-equipped CCU and wards further enhance the quality of care provided. We offer comprehensive treatment services for conditions such as Heart failure, congenital heart diseases and Cardiomyopathies. Our high success rates in cardiology procedures reflect the expertise and dedication of our team.

Academics: All faculty members are also actively involved in the teaching and training of DM Cardiology, MedTech students, School of Public health students and undergraduate medical students. The department emphasizes hands-on clinical experience, with DM students engaging in clinical work under the guidance of faculty members to develop both basic clinical and interventional competencies. The Department has published more than 50 PubMed indexed papers including journals like NEJM, JACC etc.

Research: A dedicated research team operates within the OPD complex, maintaining daily research activities under the supervision of a principal investigator and funded by ICMR, Department of Biotechnology, World heart federation and various Start-ups. Research initiatives primarily focus on the validation of new medical devices, multicentric international studies, and drug trials, contributing to advancements in cardiovascular care.

To be a “Centre of Excellence” (CoE) in Cardiovascular care, Education, Training and Innovation. Four key pillars of our vision are

Exceptional Patient Care

a) Deliver compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized cardiovascular care to improve outcomes and quality of life for all patients.

b) Integrate cutting-edge technology and minimally invasive techniques for precise diagnosis and treatment.

Innovation & Research

a) Pioneer advancements in cardiology through translational research, clinical trials, and collaboration with leading institutions.

b) Focus on preventive cardiology, regenerative medicine, and AI-driven diagnostics to shape the future of heart health.

c) Foster multidisciplinary teamwork among cardiologists, public health experts, researchers, and allied health professionals to provide holistic care.

Education & Training

a) Cultivate the next generation of cardiologists through rigorous training, mentorship, and hands-on experience in basic and advanced cardiac procedures.

b) Promote lifelong learning and professional development for our team to stay at the forefront of medical breakthroughs.

Community & Global Impact

a) Lead public health initiatives to combat cardiovascular diseases through awareness, screening, and preventive programs.

b) Expand access to high-quality cardiac care in underserved communities through outreach and telemedicine.

Department of Cardiology provides daily OPD services, serving 200-250 patients per day, while the cardiology IPD has a total of 33 beds (12 male ward, 8 female ward and 13 CCU beds). The Department is having two state of art Cath lab (Single plane; Philips Azurian 7 C12 and Artis ZEE Biplane Siemens). It does around 1500 procedures per year like CAG, PTCA, Device Closure, CIED implantation etc. Non-Invasive lab service like Echocardiography (5 Echo Machines), TMT, Holter Monitoring, ABPM are also been provided in OPD. The Department also runs specialty clinic like Paediatric Cardiology clinic and Heart failure clinic.
