Advanced Heart and Chest Care — Backed by Technology and Experience

The Department of Cardiology & Thoracic Surgery at Sunrise brings together experienced cardiologists, interventional specialists, and cardiothoracic surgeons to provide comprehensive care for heart, lung, and chest conditions. Our newly inaugurated Cath Lab — one of the most advanced in the region — enables real-time cardiac imaging, angioplasty, and stenting. Sunrise holds the distinction of being the first hospital in Kerala to offer Volume CT and Cardiac CT, and our cardiothoracic team includes Dr. Nasser Yusuf — a gold medallist who performed the first coronary bypass surgery in Malabar in 1998 — and Dr. John E.V., a senior cardiothoracic surgeon with decades of clinical experience.

A Cath Lab (Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory) is a specialised room with imaging equipment used to visualise the heart's arteries and perform interventional procedures like angioplasty and stenting. Having a Cath Lab on-site means life-saving procedures can happen without any delay.

Not always. Depending on the number and location of blockages, angioplasty with stenting may be sufficient. Your cardiologist will evaluate your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment after a thorough assessment.

Adults over 40, those with a family history of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol should have a cardiac evaluation at least once a year. Our Sunrise CardioWell health package is designed specifically for this purpose.
