New Heart Dysfunction Clinic and Pulmonary Embolism Referral Center

Billroth Hospitals, one of the city’s leading multispecialty centres and a pioneer in advanced laparoscopic and laser procedures, marked a significant milestone with the launch announcement of its comprehensive Cardiac & Pulmonary Specialty Services, with a new Heart Dysfunction Clinic and Pulmonary Embolism Referral Center at The Leela Palace Chennai. The newly introduced specialty programmes — including the Cardiac Transplant Programme, Cardiac Dysfunction Clinic & Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre, Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, and Pulmonary Embolism Referral Centre — strengthen integrated heart–lung care, delivering seamless, high-precision, and patient-centric services under one roof. By integrating advanced technology, multidisciplinary clinical expertise, and coordinated treatment pathways, the hospital reinforces its commitment to comprehensive, compassionate and holistic healthcare. The highlight of the event was a deeply moving moment when Dr. Rajesh Jeganathan, Chairman, Billroth Hospitals, presented a cheque of Rs. 20,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Lakhs Only) to a successful Heart Transplant patient. The heartfelt gesture symbolized not only the life-saving impact of advanced cardiac care but also the institution’s unwavering commitment to supporting patients well beyond the surgery. Cardiac Centre of Excellence, Emergency & Advanced Care Capabilities The Cardiac Department, which commenced operations in 2003, has since evolved into a centre of excellence, consistently adopting advanced techniques and cutting-edge technologies to manage complex cardiac conditions. Building on a legacy of over 50,000+ Cath Lab procedures and 10,000+ CTVS surgeries, the hospital continues to set new standards in cardiac excellence. It further strengthens its emergency preparedness with 24x7 Advanced Cardiac Emergency Services at its Shenoy Nagar and R.A.
