A full cardiac care pathway under one roof — from OPD consultation and angiogram to angioplasty and bypass surgery — at Mathi Integrated Health Centre, Sivakasi.
Heart care in and around Sivakasi has traditionally meant a long journey to a metro hospital — often at the worst possible time. The Cardiac Sciences department at Mathi Integrated Health Centre was built to change that: a coronary Cath Lab, a dedicated cardio-thoracic operation theatre (the only one in Virudhunagar district), a 12-bed ICU and a 24/7 emergency department, all on one campus in Viswanatham, Sivakasi.
The department is led by a full-time interventional cardiologist with daily OPD hours, supported by a visiting DM cardiologist and a cardio-thoracic surgical team. Within its first nine months, the cardiac surgical programme completed 25 successful CABG (bypass) surgeries.
For chest pain and suspected heart attack, every minute matters. Our emergency team is available round the clock, with the Cath Lab and ICU as immediate backup — so definitive cardiac care starts in Sivakasi, not after a two-hour drive.
Consultation with an interventional cardiologist, Monday to Saturday, with ECG and echocardiography-based evaluation.
Day-care diagnostic angiogram in the on-site Cath Lab to map blockages in the coronary arteries.
Balloon angioplasty and stenting performed in the Cath Lab, including for acute heart attack cases arriving through emergency.
Open-heart bypass surgery in the district's only dedicated cardio-thoracic operation theatre — 25+ surgeries completed.
24/7 casualty with rapid assessment of chest pain, heart attack and arrhythmia, backed by the ICU and Cath Lab.
