Even though Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (SRIHER) had its genesis in 1985 as Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research centre but the “Department of Cardiology” was inaugurated on 3rd November 1994 with the title “Cardiac Care Centre” since it encompass Cardiology, Cardiac surgery and Cardiac anesthesiology.
The centre is both students centric (DM – Cardiology) M.Ch., (Cardio thoracic surgery), & B.Sc, M. Sc., (Allied Health Sciences) courses in cardiology and also patient centric with all nuances of pedagogy in education and nuances of guideline based clinical examination, investigations and multifaceted therapeutic interventional strategies including transplantation under one roof.
Highly experienced cardiologist, superbly trained nursing staffs, dedicated hardworking technical personals and smart administrative staffs are involved in orchestrating all endeavors with at most sincerity, with inherent passion in the preventive, primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary care from infants stage to the octogenarians in the population
