Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of deaths worldwide and the Department of Cardiology at Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI) emerges out as a pioneer in devising better ways for the diagnosis, treatment and the prevention of heart diseases. Our mission is to deliver high quality & compassionate care to patients with heart diseases, make newer discoveries that benefit patients and offer the best results in the field.
Our cardiac experts are always available to provide consultation and treatment for all aspects of cardiovascular care and prevention. We endeavour to provide swift, seamless referrals, and our advanced system allows for rapid communication of findings and follow-up. Our team of doctors specialises in cardiac by-pass surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology, and non-invasive cardiology. Department of cardiovascular sciences at Fortis Memorial Research Institute consists of best cardiologists in India, state-of-the-art technologies, world-class infrastructure and evidence driven professional cardiologists to provide all cardiovascular services under one roof for children, adults & elderly.
Moreover, we also provide ambulatory systems for emergencies along with non-invasive image processing, echocardiography, stress tests, cardiovascular CT’s and thallium heart mapping among many others.
The Department is dynamic & innovative, dedicated to excellence in research, education and clinical care. It gives people hope for a healthier and happier future by providing the best cardiac care to patients.
Focused on integrated patient care, our treatments span from standard non-invasive procedures such as hypertension to highly advanced invasive procedures such as heart transplantation, electrophysiology testing and pacemaker treatment, including biventricular pacemaker and ICD implantation.
The medical programme is driven by best Cardiac doctors in India, super-sub-specialists and speciality nurses, all committed to integrating their exceptional medical expertise, technology and innovation to offer best-in-class treatments.
