Cardiothoracic CCU : The Centres have dedicated Cardiothoracic CCUs with 1:1 nursing ratio, round the clock. They are well equipped with bedside color doppler, echocardiography system, continuous oxygen supply, infusion pumps, defibrillator, ventilators, invasive as well as non-invasive pressure monitoring systems, temporary pace maker (transdermal as well as transvenous), intra aortic balloon pump, ABG (Blood Gas machine) and electrolytes analysis machines.

Electrophysiology : Electrophysiological studies have been used for decades to evaluate cardiac arrhythmias and to get a basic understanding of their mechanisms. Venticular tachyarrhythmias are the commonest cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). The patients are investigated by an EP study and, if required, provided with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) as a life saving device.

We have capabilities for multi-site pacing for patients of Heart Failure and Dilated cardiomyopathy. Recently a bilateral pacing was performed for intermittent Atrial Fibrillation.

Non-invasive cardiology : The Non-invasive Cardiac Laboratory is run by senior cardiologists who are dedicated to the work in the field. The procedures done here include stress echoes, dobutamine stress echoes, vascular dopplers, trans-oesophageal echoes, intra-operative TEE and fetal echoes.

Tracking Outcomes

High-quality, evidence-based care (care that is proven) leads to more lives saved and less time in the hospital. Quality care also means safer care for consumers. This involves constantly and proactively looking at processes to improve safety and, in turn, quality.

How can you choose the best quality hospital for the care you need?

It is important to consider quality, because research shows that some hospitals simply do a better job than others. For example, we know that hospitals that do a greater number of the same surgeries have better outcomes for their patients.

Quick Check for Quality

• Is accredited by the Joint Commission or a national accreditation body such as the NABH.
• Has experience with your condition.
• Has had success with your condition.
• Checks and works to improve its own quality of care.
• Tracks patient outcomes (how well the patients do).

Saving A Child’s Heart

Why Save A Child’s Heart? Pediatric Cardiology has been a neglected speciality in the country despite a massive disease burden. Consanguinity, viral infections like mumps, measles and rubella, absolute lack of awareness, and high treatment costs are some of the important factors contributing to the high disease burden.

Child Heart Surgery Child heart surgery in India is not affordable to all. It is estimated that over 250,000 children born in India each year with heart disease and less than 5% of them receive the care that they need. Most of these children succumb to the disease without celebrating even their first birthday.

In contrast if child heart surgeries are done on time, these children can grow up to become normal adults.
