(a). Department Of Echocardiography:

The Echo Cardiography department, one of the busiest in the Institute caters to both admitted and out patients. Approximately 1000 adult cases are echocardiographed each month. Other modalities include Dobutamine stress Echo (DSE) and Transoesophageal Echocardiography for assessment of left atrial clots, Vegetations and Aortic Dissections. Between 10-20 cases are performed using these advanced techniques each month. About 240 infants and children both admitted and out patients are brought in monthly and some very complicated congenital and valvular heart diseases are diagnosed through Echo and Doppler studies.

(b). Nuclear Cardiology:

Department of Nuclear Cardiology in NICVD, came into being in 1987, when the need to accurately investigate myocardial perfusion defects was acutely felt. Initially a single Head camera was installed for Thallium planar scan, using radio isotope Thallium 201. Using this facility, 450-500 cases were performed each year in the Institute. In 2002 the department was upgraded. A double head camera with various angles for myocardial perfusion studies was brought in. The quality of imaging has become far more superior and has enabled the department to perform almost 3000 cases per anum.
