Key Highlights
Specialised Cardiac Services
A complete spectrum of medical and interventional cardiac care — personalised to each patient's needs.
A minimally invasive procedure using X-ray imaging and contrast dye to visualise the inside of the coronary arteries — identifying the location, severity, and anatomy of any blockages. Provides the definitive roadmap for treatment decisions.
Conditions Explained
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Stable angina occurs when the coronary arteries narrow due to a build-up of fatty plaque. During exertion, when the heart demands more blood, the narrowed artery cannot keep up — causing chest discomfort.
Chest tightness, pressure, or heaviness in the centre of the chest, often spreading to the left arm, jaw, or shoulder. Typically lasts a few minutes and resolves with rest or a nitrate spray.
ECG, echocardiography, and stress testing to assess severity. Depending on findings: antianginal medications, risk factor modification, coronary angiography, and angioplasty or bypass surgery if needed.
Precise Diagnosis, Accurate Assessment — Comprehensive Heart Care at SRM Prime Hospital, Ramapuram
Advanced Cardiac Diagnostics
At SRM Prime Hospital, Ramapuram, our Department of Cardiac Sciences offers complete diagnostic and assessment services for coronary, structural, and rhythm-related heart conditions, all under one roof.
Coronary angiography (CAG) in our Smart Cath Lab — the gold standard for identifying the location, severity, and anatomy of coronary blockages. Peripheral and renal angiography for blocked limb and kidney vessels, with angioplasty and stenting performed in the same session where indicated.
128 Slice CT for high-speed cardiac CT angiography and detailed coronary anatomy assessment. 3T MRI for myocardial viability, cardiomyopathy evaluation, and complex structural analysis — enabling accurate disease mapping without invasive procedures.
2D/3D echocardiography with Doppler for real-time assessment of chambers, valves, pericardium, and ejection fraction. Treadmill stress testing (TMT) and stress echocardiography to reveal ischaemic segments under exercise or pharmacological stress.
12-lead ECG, Holter monitoring (24–48 hrs), and ambulatory blood pressure recording for detection of intermittent arrhythmias. Electrophysiology studies to map the heart's electrical system. High-sensitivity Troponin, BNP/NT-proBNP, lipid profile, and thyroid function tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
No referral is needed. You can directly book an appointment with our cardiologists — Dr. Balamurugan. S or Dr. Balasubramanian P — by calling 044 3545 3545 or booking online at www.srmhospitals.com.
Yes, we have a state-of-the-art Smart Cath Lab for angiogram, angioplasty, pacemaker implantation, ICD implantation, balloon valvotomy, and emergency cardiac procedures.
We offer 128 Slice CT cardiac angiography, 3T MRI-based cardiac imaging, 2D/3D echocardiography, ECG, TMT, Holter monitoring, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring — all under one roof.
Coronary angiography is not painful. It is performed under local anaesthesia — you will be awake throughout the procedure. You may feel a brief sting when the local anaesthetic is injected at the wrist, and a warm flushing sensation when contrast dye is injected. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes and most patients go home the same day.
Many conditions can be treated using minimally invasive catheter-based procedures — including blocked coronary arteries (angioplasty and stenting), certain arrhythmias (radiofrequency ablation), mitral stenosis (balloon valvotomy), and slow heart rhythms (pacemaker implantation). Our cardiologists will advise on the most appropriate approach for your specific condition.
Yes. Our cardiac emergency line — 044 3500 3500 — is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you or someone with you is experiencing severe chest pain, breathlessness, or collapse, call immediately. Our emergency team is equipped to initiate rapid assessment and activate our Smart Cath Lab for emergency procedures including primary PCI for heart attacks.
No, SRM Prime Hospital does not perform heart transplant surgeries. However, we provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced cardiac care for most heart conditions — including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and complex arrhythmias.
Absolutely. We welcome patients seeking a second opinion on a cardiac diagnosis, angiography report, or proposed procedure. Our cardiologists will review all your previous investigations and provide an honest, independent assessment. Second opinion consultations can be arranged online or in person — call 044 3545 3545 to schedule.
