The Department of Cardiology at Heritage Institute of Medical Sciences delivers comprehensive cardiac care, specializing in the diagnosis, interventional management, and surgical treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Our experienced team of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and intensive care specialists work collaboratively in our state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) and dedicated Coronary Care Unit (CCU) to provide 24×7 emergency and elective cardiac services in Varanasi and Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Advanced Interventional & Surgical Cardiology
Equipped with modern fluoroscopic digital imaging, advanced hemodynamic monitoring, and high-precision cardiac surgical instrumentation, the department performs a wide spectrum of life-saving cardiac procedures:
- Coronary Angiography & Angioplasty (PTCA): Emergency primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) and elective drug-eluting stent (DES) placement.
- Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery (CTVS): Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), valve replacement and repair, and complex thoracic surgical interventions.
- Permanent Pacemaker Implantation (PPI): Single and dual-chamber pacemaker installations, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD).
- Peripheral & Carotid Interventions: Balloon angioplasty, stenting for peripheral vascular disease, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) management.
Non-Invasive Diagnostic Cardiology Suite
Our non-invasive cardiology facility conducts thorough diagnostic evaluations with rapid reporting:
- High-resolution 2D and Doppler Echocardiography (ECHO) with pediatric and adult probes.
- Computerized Treadmill Stress Testing (TMT) for coronary artery disease assessment.
- 24-Hour and 48-Hour Holter Ambulatory ECG Monitoring for arrhythmia detection.
- Continuous Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM).
24×7 Coronary Care Unit (CCU) & Emergency Response
The department operates a dedicated, multi-bed Coronary Care Unit staffed 24 hours a day by trained cardiac intensivists and nursing personnel. With continuous central telemetry, intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP), mechanical ventilators, and immediate cath lab mobilization, Heritage IMS ensures swift, protocol-driven emergency resuscitation for acute coronary syndromes, unstable angina, cardiogenic shock, and life-threatening arrhythmias.
