Jayadeva Institute Expands 24/7 Services at Malleswaram Satellite Center

Additionally, the center will provide outpatient consultations, screenings, and interventional cardiology procedures including angioplasty without interruption.

The Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research has extended its services to provide round-the-clock care at its Satellite Center located at KC General Hospital in Malleswaram, effective from Sunday.

Previously operating from 9 am to 5 pm, the center will now offer continuous services, supported by staff from the main Jayadeva Hospital.

The cardiologists will also be available at the satellite center to handle emergency cases, according to an official statement.

Additionally, the center will provide outpatient consultations, screenings, and interventional cardiology procedures including angioplasty without interruption.

Moreover, patients needing advanced care beyond these services will be referred to the main Jayadeva Hospital. Currently, the satellite center sees about 45-50 patients daily.

The expansion is aimed at improving healthcare accessibility and convenience for patients at both the main and satellite centers.

Recent Developments in Cardiac Health

Last year, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiology and Research to conduct ten types of cardiac medical check-ups for all its employees for five years.

This move comes after a surge in the cases of heart-related diseases among drivers and conductors at the institute. Under the MoU, KSRTC employees aged 40 and above will be benefitted.

Founded in 1983, Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research is a government-run autonomous institute. It is one of the largest single centers for heart care in Southeast Asia.

The institute has been conducting various biomedical research in the fields of cardiology, cardiothoracic, vascular surgery, and cardiac anesthesia. The institute aims to offer quality and affordable cardiac treatment to all sections of society.

Therefore, in light of this, several institutes have taken proactive steps to implement various cardiac care initiatives. For instance, GE Healthcare launched an AI-powered 'Made in India' Cath Lab, known as Optima, as part of its commitment to advancing cardiac care in the country.

This advanced medical technology, diagnostics, and digital solutions company enables real-time streamlining of images and dose parameters. With this, the company aims to empower clinicians to concentrate their attention on patients, ultimately improving the quality of care.

AIIMS Delhi also unveiled a free rapid cardiac MRI service for Thalassemia patients. This service, which assesses the amount of iron deposition in the cardiac muscle, can be completed in just eight minutes, transforming how thalassemia patients are screened and monitored.
