Centres Of Excellence

Institute Of Cardiac Sciences
Institute of Cardiac Sciences began on November 3, 2016, when the Department of Cardiology started functioning. Over the years, a large number of major procedures have been added, including primary balloon angioplasty and stenting, congenital device closures, pacemaker implantation, with state-of-the-art equipment at its disposal. This is a veritable testimony to the department’s growth.
Our Cardiology department offers inpatient and outpatient treatment for patients with coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure and any other heart problems.
The Department of Cardiology has an integrated health care approach with a dedicated panel of Cardiologists who have a team to provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care to patients suffering from heart ailments.
Our team of doctors, nurses, technologists and other heart experts are there to ensure unparalleled excellence in patient care, education and research. State-of-the-heart-technology, including Hybrid Operating Suite, which is first of its kind in this region.
Our Interventional team is available round the clock to help patients with cardiac emergencies with primary and complex coronary angioplasties and stenting.
An emergency ambulance, fully equipped for acute coronary care is available. The department offers round-the-clock, 12-bedded Intensive Coronary Care unit.
