Cardiology Department

The department of cardiology was started in 1950 with the establishment of Bombay Hospital.

The first open heart surgery in the country, in a non-government hospital was performed in 1962.

The department of interventional cardiology and catheterization was started in 1980 and since then nearly 60,000 angiographies and 15,000 angioplasties have been performed under this roof, which is probably the largest number in any non-government hospital in the country.

The department consists of 11 leading Interventional Cardiologists, some of them being legendary in the field of cardiology.

The department also has ultramodern non-invasive cardiology investigations which consists of latest colour doppler, echo machines, treadmill and holter monitoring.

The department also has advanced Nuclear Medicine, where Thallium Stress Test and PET Scan are carried out for the patients who require these procedures for final diagnosis of their cardiac status.

The department has 2 DM Cardiology seats recognised by the Medical Council of Mumbai, and affiliated to MUHS (Maharashtra University of Healthcare Services).

The Bombay hospital has the best Cardiologist in Mumbai, who work tirelessly to provide the highest level of care, ensuring that patients receive world-class treatment for heart health.

Diagnostic Services

Bombay Hospital, recognized as the Leading Cardiology Hospital in Mumbai, offers a full range of advanced cardiac diagnostic tests to ensure early and accurate diagnosis:

• ECG: An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, quick, and effective test used to monitor the heart’s electrical activity. This test helps detect arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac issues, providing valuable insights into heart health at Bombay Hospital, the Expert Heart Specialist in Mumbai.
• 2D/3D Echocardiography: Delivers detailed heart images for accurate diagnoses. It evaluates heart structure and function. Experience advanced heart imaging with 2D/3D Echocardiography for comprehensive cardiovascular care, offered at the Premier Cardiology Hospital in Mumbai.
• Treadmill Stress Test: Assesses your heart's response to exercise, providing critical insights into heart function. Evaluate your heart health with this test to monitor performance under physical stress, available at Bombay Hospital, a Top Cardiologist in Mumbai.
• Holter Monitoring: Tracks heart rhythm over 24-48 hours, identifying irregularities for timely intervention. It ensures early detection of potential issues, one of the specialized services provided by Cardiology Services in Mumbai.
• Cardiac MRI: At Bombay Hospital, we use cutting-edge MRI technology to perform Cardiac MRI. We use this technology to diagnose heart muscle diseases, damage from heart attacks, and congenital heart conditions, offering patients the most advanced cardiac care in Mumbai.

Interventional Cardiology

Minimally invasive, life-saving procedures by expert interventional cardiologists at Bombay Hospital, a leader in advanced cardiac care in Mumbai. We specialize in catheter-based techniques to open blocked arteries, restore blood flow, and improve heart function—without the need for open-heart surgery:

• Coronary Angioplasty & Stenting: A procedure to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries using a balloon and stent, helping restore normal blood flow and relieve chest pain or heart attack symptoms. A core service at the Distinguished Cardiology Hospital in Mumbai.
• Rotablation for Calcified Arteries: A specialized technique using a rotating burr to remove hardened plaque from severely calcified arteries—ideal for patients where traditional angioplasty is not effective.
• Laser Angioplasty: Advanced laser technology is used to vaporize blockages in complex or previously treated arteries.
• Precision Stenting with FFR, IVUS & OCT: We use high-end imaging and pressure-sensing tools like:
• FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve)
• IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound)
• OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

These ensure the most accurate diagnosis and optimal placement of stents, reducing future complications.

• 24/7 Emergency Angioplasty: Our cath lab is always ready. Immediate angioplasty for heart attacks is available round the clock, ensuring rapid response when every second counts. The Trusted Cardiology Hospital in Mumbai provides 24/7 services.

Electrophysiology (EP) Services

Advanced care for irregular heartbeats, fainting spells, and cardiac rhythm disorders at Bombay Hospital, home to the most advanced cardiology services in Mumbai:

• EP Study & 3D Mapping: A minimally invasive test to accurately trace abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. This helps pinpoint the exact cause of arrhythmias and guides targeted treatment.
• Radiofrequency Ablation: A highly effective, catheter-based procedure that destroys the small area of heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms. It’s a permanent solution for many types of arrhythmias.
• Pacemaker & ICD Implantation: We offer implantation of:
• Pacemakers for slow heart rhythms (bradycardia)
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) for life-threatening fast rhythms (ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation).

Our expert electrophysiologists ensure precise placement and provide lifelong device follow-up and monitoring.

Structural Heart Interventions

Non-surgical, catheter-based treatments for heart valve and congenital defects – performed by experts at Bombay Hospital. These advanced procedures offer effective alternatives to open-heart surgery, with faster recovery and minimal complications:

• TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement): A breakthrough procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are high-risk for surgery. The damaged valve is replaced via a catheter, without opening the chest.
• Balloon Valvotomy: Used to widen narrowed heart valves—especially the mitral valve—by inflating a small balloon inside the valve. This improves blood flow and reduces symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue.
• ASD & PFO Closure: Catheter-based closure of Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO)—small openings in the heart that can cause strokes or oxygen imbalance. Closure is done without the need for surgery, ensuring quick recovery.

Advanced Technology & Equipment

At Bombay Hospital, we use world-class, high-end cardiac technology to ensure accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, and superior patient outcomes, all within the Cardiology department.

• 3 Tesla Cardiac MRI
• 128-Slice CT Scanner
