The Department of Cardiology at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals in Raipur provides comprehensive tertiary cardiac care. It is known for making advanced diagnostic, interventional and surgical cardiology services accessible to all. The programme is structured to manage the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease (from preventive cardiology and early risk detection to complex interventions and high-acuity cardiac emergencies).

The department is supported by a team of experienced interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and cardiac surgeons, working within a multidisciplinary clinical framework to ensure evidence-based, protocol-driven care. With state-of-the-art cardiac catheterisation laboratories, advanced imaging modalities, and a dedicated Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), the hospital delivers round-the-clock cardiac emergency services, including primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction with benchmarked door-to-balloon times.

The clinical infrastructure integrates invasive and non-invasive cardiology, electrophysiology, cardiac surgery, and rehabilitation, ensuring continuity of care across the entire treatment pathway. It has everything that a heart patient might need from diagnosis through intervention to recovery and long-term follow-up.The programme places strong emphasis on precision-guided interventions utilising technologies such as IVUS, FFR and advanced imaging to optimise procedural outcomes and improve long-term cardiovascular health. In addition, structured preventive cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation protocols are embedded into clinical pathways to address the rising burden of cardiovascular disease through risk-factor modification, early detection, and long-term disease management.

Heart Conditions We Treat

At the Cardiology Department, CARE Hospital Raipur, our experts treat every type of cardiovascular condition:

• Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Coronary Syndromes: From stable angina to STEMI, our interventional team manages the full spectrum, including multi-vessel disease and chronic total occlusions.
• Heart Failure: Reduced pump function from any cause, managed through optimised pharmacotherapy, CRT and ICD where indicated, and a structured rehabilitation programme.
• Valvular Heart Disease: Mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve disease treated medically, surgically, or via catheter including TAVI for aortic stenosis in high surgical-risk patients.
• Arrhythmias and Rhythm Disorders: AF, atrial flutter, SVT, ventricular tachycardia and bradyarrhythmias are diagnosed with Holter and EP study, treated with ablation or device implantation as appropriate.
• Congenital Heart Defects in Adults: ASD, VSD, PDA, and other structural anomalies in patients, managed through catheter-based closure or surgical correction depending on anatomy.
• Hypertension and Hypertensive Heart Disease: Structured BP management including investigation for secondary causes with a focus on preventing cardiac, renal, and cerebrovascular organ damage.
• Cardiomyopathies: Dilated, hypertrophic, and restrictive cardiomyopathies assessed with cardiac MRI and managed with individualised medical and device-based strategies.
• Pericardial Disease: Pericarditis, pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis are managed medically and, when required, by pericardiocentesis or surgical drainage.
• Peripheral Artery Disease: Claudication, critical limb ischaemia, and non-healing ulcers treated with peripheral angioplasty, stenting, or surgical bypass.
• Venous Thromboembolic Disease: DVT and pulmonary embolism managed with anticoagulation, catheter-directed thrombolysis, or IVC filter placement (all based on clinical severity).
• Dyslipidaemia and Metabolic Risk: Elevated LDL, low HDL, high triglycerides and metabolic syndrome addressed as primary cardiovascular risk factors through targeted lipid management.

Cardiac Diagnostics and Facilities

• Non Invasive Diagnostics
  • ECG: Available 24/7 at our hospital and interpreted by our expert cardiologists. It works by placing small electrodes on the skin that pick up the heart's electrical activity in real time. This allows doctors to detect heart attacks, identify arrhythmias, and find out structural issues (if any).
  • 2D and 3D Echocardiography: With these your doctor can get real time ultrasound imaging of chambers, valves and ejection fraction. 3D echo adds spatial depth for complex structural assessment and pre-procedural planning.
  • Treadmill Test and Stress Echo: Exercise stress testing can spot inducible ischaemia (sometimes with imaging added to detect wall motion abnormalities under load).
  • Holter Monitoring: 24–48 hour continuous ECG to capture intermittent arrhythmias - essential for palpitations, unexplained syncope, and arrhythmia quantification.
  • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring: 4 hour BP recording that reveals morning surges, nocturnal patterns and white coat effects that a clinic reading cannot capture.
  • Tilt Table Test: Controlled positional changes to reproduce and diagnose the haemodynamic mechanism (if someone has recurrent fainting episodes).
• Advanced and Invasive Diagnostics
  • CT Coronary Angiography: Non-invasive coronary imaging for plaque burden, stenosis severity and coronary mapping particularly useful before invasive procedures or to rule out CAD in intermediate-risk patients.
  • Cardiac MRI: Gold standard for myocardial tissue characterisation including scarring, infiltration, oedema, and inflammation. Indispensable in cardiomyopathy workup.
  • Invasive Coronary Angiography: The reference standard before major intervention. Definitive assessment of coronary anatomy, intracardiac pressures, and valvular function.
  • IVUS and FFR: Angiography shows the lumen; IVUS shows the wall. FFR determines whether a lesion is causing genuine ischaemia. Together, they guide stent sizing and placement with precision unavailable from angiography alone.
• Cardiac Biomarker Laboratory Tests
  • Rapid on-site turnaround for troponin I and T, BNP/NT-proBNP, lipid profiles, HbA1c, fasting glucose, hs-CRP, D-Dimer, and Lipoprotein(a). In acute presentations, laboratory speed directly shapes treatment decisions.
• Infrastructure
  • Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratories: High-definition fluoroscopy, rotablation, IVUS integration and FFR that are equipped for diagnostic and complex interventional procedures.
  • Electrophysiology Suite: 3D electroanatomical mapping for arrhythmia diagnosis and ablation guidance. Precision that makes complex ablation procedures safe.
  • Cardiac ICU: Dedicated CICU with haemodynamic monitoring, IABP support, temporary pacing, and round-the-clock intensivist staffing.
  • Hybrid Operating Theatre: A combined cath lab and surgical environment that allows real-time switching between catheter-based and open approaches in complex structural heart cases.

Cardiac Treatments and Procedures

At our hospital, our expert cardiologists and cardiac surgeons perform various interventional and surgical procedures that make us one of the best cardiology hospital in Raipur:

• Interventional Cardiology
  • Primary PCI for Acute MI: Emergency primary angioplasty for STEMI - cath lab activated directly from triage (we tracked door to balloon times against international standards).
  • Elective PCI and Drug Eluting Stenting: Balloon dilatation and stent deployment for stable and complex coronary disease, including bifurcations, CTOs and long diffuse lesions.
  • Rotational Atherectomy: High-speed rotating burr for heavily calcified plaques that resist conventional balloon dilatation enabling stent deployment in lesions otherwise untreatable.
  • TAVI / TAVR: Catheter-delivered prosthetic aortic valve for severe aortic stenosis in patients at elevated surgical risk (no open-heart surgery required).
  • IVUS and FFR-guided PCI: Intracoronary imaging and physiology routinely used to optimise stenting, verify expansion, and confirm clinical significance of intermediate lesions.
  • Peripheral and Carotid Intervention: Angioplasty and stenting for peripheral arterial disease, renal artery stenosis, and carotid artery stenosis.
  • Catheter-based Defect Closure: Device closure of ASD, VSD, and PDA results in avoiding open surgery in anatomically suitable patients.
  • Pericardiocentesis: Needle drainage of pericardial effusion under echocardiographic guidance in cardiac tamponade.
• Electrophysiology and Devices
  • EP Study and Catheter Ablation: Invasive arrhythmia mapping followed by radiofrequency or cryo-ablation effectively treats AF, flutter, SVT and ventricular tachycardia using 3D electroanatomical navigation.
  • Permanent Pacemaker Implantation: Single and dual chamber pacemakers (for symptomatic bradycardia and conduction system disease).
  • ICD Implantation: Continuous rhythm monitoring (with automatic defibrillation) to prevent sudden cardiac death
  • Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy: Biventricular pacing for heart failure with dyssynchrony, improving symptoms, exercise capacity, and survival in appropriately selected patients.
  • Cardioversion: Synchronised electrical restoration of sinus rhythm in AF and other sustained tachyarrhythmias performed in a hospital.
• Cardiac Surgery
  • CABG: Arterial and venous graft bypass for multi-vessel coronary disease and left main stenosis - the most durable revascularisation strategy for complex anatomy.
  • Valve Repair and Replacement: Surgical correction of mitral, aortic, tricuspid, and pulmonary valve disease. Doctors prefer repair over replacement where anatomy allows.
  • Aortic Surgery: Reconstruction of the ascending aorta, arch or descending aorta for aneurysmal disease or acute dissection.
  • Congenital Heart Surgery: Surgical correction of structural defects in children and adults (where catheter based closure is not feasible).
  • VAD Implantation and Heart Failure Surgery: Ventricular assist device implantation which your doctor may perform alongside ventricular restoration & mitral repair.
