Clinical Overview
About Interventional Cardiology at South City Hospital
The Department of Cardiology at South City Hospital provides specialized cardiovascular evaluation and emergency heart care for the community of Silchar and the wider Barak Valley. Cardiovascular health is critical, and rapid medical intervention during cardiac emergencies saves lives.
Our cardiology team provides advanced non-invasive cardiac diagnostics, including Color Doppler 2D/3D Echocardiography, continuous 24-hour Holter monitoring, resting electrocardiograms, and cardiac enzyme biomarker testing.
Supported by our Coronary Care Unit (CCU), our cardiologists manage acute coronary syndromes, myocardial infarction (heart attack) stabilization, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and hypertensive emergencies around the clock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Interventional Cardiology
What should I do if I suspect someone is having a heart attack?
Bring the patient immediately to South City Hospital's 24/7 Emergency Room. Do not wait for symptoms to subside, as immediate medical stabilization prevents heart muscle necrosis.
How does an Echocardiogram differ from an ECG?
An ECG records the heart's electrical rhythm, while an Echocardiogram is an ultrasound that visually shows the physical heart structure, pumping strength, and heart valve function.
Is hospital admission always necessary for chest pain?
Our doctors perform immediate ECG and cardiac blood tests to differentiate benign muscular discomfort from cardiac ischemia; only those requiring medical stabilization are admitted.
