Heart Care & Cardiology
Chest pain that worries you. Shortness of breath with everyday activities. These are signs your heart may need attention. Our Cardiology Department at THANC Hospital in Kilpauk helps evaluate your heart health. We identify and manage conditions like high blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms. Our team works to improve your heart's function and your overall comfort.

About Our Cardiology Department
A persistent chest discomfort. Breathlessness after walking a short distance. Swelling in your legs that does not go away. These are common reasons people visit our Cardiology Department in Kilpauk, Chennai. We evaluate a range of heart conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension) and coronary artery disease. We also see patients with heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) and heart failure. Valve disorders and congenital heart conditions are also part of our scope. Your initial visit involves a detailed discussion about your symptoms and medical history. We perform a thorough physical examination. Often, we start with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests. Further tests like an echocardiogram or a treadmill stress test may follow. We might also suggest a Holter monitor for rhythm disturbances. Our goal is to understand your heart's health accurately and quickly. We focus on getting you back to your everyday life.
At THANC Hospital, your heart care is always led by a senior consultant cardiologist. This means an experienced doctor directly manages your case from start to finish. We do not use trainees for independent patient care or procedures. If your heart condition is linked to a sleep disorder, for example, our sleep medicine team is in the same building. You can get an opinion from both specialists on the same day. If a throat issue impacts your breathing and heart health, our ENT team is readily available. We provide transparent written estimates before any tests or procedures are booked. This helps you understand all costs upfront, with no surprises. We follow established guidelines from bodies like the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for our treatment decisions. If your condition needs complex cardiac surgery or interventional cardiology procedures, we will refer you to a dedicated cardiac surgical centre. We will help you find the right specialist for those advanced interventions.
