The 50-bed satellite centre of the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research (SJICSR) at K.C. General Hospital, inaugurated in October last year, has crossed a milestone by completing 1,005 angiograms as on Saturday, September 23.
Doctors at the satellite centre, which has come as a boon to patients with cardiac emergencies requiring the golden hour treatment in central Bengaluru, see over 100 patients in the outpatient department (OPD) here every day. As many as 250 angioplasties and stenting procedures apart from 18,000 echocardiograms (ECHOs) have been done at the centre so far.
SJICSR director C.N. Manjunath said a total of over 23,350 patients, including 1,300 in-patients, had been seen and 14,500 electrocardiograms (ECGs) done here so far.
