Where Every
Heartbeat Matters
Comprehensive interventional cardiology, advanced cath lab procedures, electrophysiology and 24×7 cardiac critical care — serving South Tamil Nadu since 2011.
Overview
The Department of Cardiology at Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences (SMIMS) is one of the leading tertiary cardiac care centres serving patients across Kanyakumari District, South Tamil Nadu, and neighbouring Kerala. Established in 2011 as a non-interventional cardiology unit, the department has evolved into a comprehensive centre for advanced cardiovascular care with the commissioning of its state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (Cath Lab) in 2013.
Today, the department offers 24×7 emergency cardiac services, comprehensive diagnostics, advanced interventional cardiology, structural heart interventions, electrophysiology, peripheral vascular procedures, and cardiac surgery under one roof. Backed by a team of experienced Interventional Cardiologists, Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgeons (CTVS), Cardiac Anaesthetists, Intensivists, and highly trained cardiac nursing professionals, we provide evidence-based treatment with a strong focus on safety, precision, and compassionate patient care.
Our advanced cardiac services include:
- Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)
- Complex Coronary Stenting
- IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound)-Guided Interventions
- Rotational Atherectomy (Rotablation) for heavily calcified coronary lesions
- Management of Complex Bifurcation Lesions
- Electrophysiology (EP) Studies and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for cardiac rhythm disorders
- Permanent Pacemaker (PPM), Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD), and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
- Peripheral Angiography & Angioplasty
- Embolization Procedures and IVC Filter Placement
- Structural & Congenital Heart Disease Interventions, including device closure of congenital defects, balloon valvuloplasty, and catheter-based corrections
- Advanced non-invasive imaging including 2D Echocardiography, Stress Echocardiography, CT Coronary Angiography, Cardiac MRI, and Nuclear Perfusion Imaging
SMIMS is empanelled under the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (TNCMCHIS), ensuring that advanced cardiac care remains affordable and accessible to patients from all walks of life.
