Apollo Heart Centre, Chennai

Apollo Heart Centre in Thousand Lights, Chennai is a specialist cardiovascular facility within the Apollo Hospitals network. Its hospital page describes focused cardiac diagnostics, intervention and long-term heart care rather than a broad general-hospital service. The centre is closely linked with Apollo’s Greams Road cardiac programme. Published cardiac procedures include coronary angioplasty, rotablation, coronary artery bypass grafting, TAVI/TAVR, MitraClip, pacemaker, ICD and CRT implantation, catheter ablation, minimally invasive and robotic heart surgery, heart transplantation and LVAD implantation.

Apollo also publishes coronary catheterisation and angiography through the Greams Road heart institute. The centre is supported by catheterisation laboratories, cardiac operating facilities, intensive-care capability and advanced cardiovascular imaging. This allows cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to manage patients whose condition may require a transition from diagnostic catheterisation to intervention or surgery. The service range covers coronary artery disease, structural and valvular disease, arrhythmias, heart failure and selected transplant pathways.

Patients with complex anatomy can be assessed for catheter-based or surgical options within the same cardiovascular programme. Apollo Heart Centre may be relevant for complex coronary disease, heart-valve disorders, rhythm problems, heart failure and patients who need both interventional and surgical expertise. It is profiled here as a specialist cardiac centre; unrelated departments are excluded from this description.
