Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences, Bangalore

Narayana Institute of Cardiac Sciences at Bommasandra in Bengaluru is a specialist heart hospital within Narayana Health. The institute reports more than 600 advanced-care beds, including over 240 ICU beds. Its services are organised around adult cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, adult cardiac surgery, paediatric cardiology and paediatric or congenital cardiac surgery. The facility is accredited by JCI and NABH.

Cardiac surgeons perform on-pump and off-pump coronary bypass surgery, total arterial CABG, minimally invasive coronary operations and robotic CABG. Valve repair and replacement, aortic surgery and congenital heart surgery are also part of the programme. For advanced heart failure, the institute has heart-transplant and ventricular-assist-device services, while paediatric teams manage surgical heart disease in children and congenital abnormalities.

The hospital has 19 dedicated cardiac operating theatres, including robotic-capable theatres, and eight catheterisation laboratories, one of them a hybrid cath lab. Intensive care is a major component of the bed base, supporting adults and children after complex surgery or during severe cardiac illness. Imaging, transoesophageal echocardiography, heart-lung support and ventilatory systems are integrated into the cardiac environment.

Patients with multivessel coronary disease, difficult valve disease, aortic pathology, congenital heart defects, rhythm problems or advanced heart failure may find this institute relevant. Because the hospital is focused specifically on cardiovascular medicine, its infrastructure is designed around high-volume cardiac diagnosis, catheter-based treatment, surgery and postoperative intensive care rather than a general multispeciality model.
