Metro Hospital and Heart Institute

Metro Hospital and Heart Institute is a multi-specialty tertiary care hospital with a prominent focus on cardiac sciences, operating within the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR). The Metro Hospitals group has established a presence in the NCR region as a provider of cardiac care, multi-specialty medical and surgical services, and emergency medicine. The hospital's Heart Institute is its flagship clinical division, bringing together cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and cardiac intensive care specialists to provide comprehensive management of coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, congenital heart conditions, and arrhythmias. Alongside its cardiac center, the hospital provides general medical services, surgical services, orthopaedics, nephrology, and women's health — making it a full-service multi-specialty institution rather than a purely cardiac-only facility. Delhi NCR's large population and high burden of cardiovascular disease — driven by sedentary lifestyles, dietary patterns, and high stress levels — creates significant demand for cardiac specialty care that Metro Hospital and Heart Institute serves.

Metro Hospital and Heart Institute provides clinical services with particular depth in cardiac disciplines and multi-specialty coverage. The Heart Institute focuses on cardiac surgery (CABG, valve repair/replacement, congenital heart surgery, minimally invasive cardiac surgery), interventional cardiology (coronary angiography, angioplasty with drug-eluting stents, balloon valvuloplasty), cardiac electrophysiology (EP study, ablation for arrhythmias, pacemaker implantation, ICD implant), and non-invasive cardiology (echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring). Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery complements the cardiac program. Other specialty departments include General Medicine for chronic disease management, General and Laparoscopic Surgery, Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement, Nephrology and Dialysis, Neurology, Pulmonology, Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, and 24-hour Emergency and Trauma Medicine. The ICU/CCU complex provides critical care across medical and cardiac disciplines.

Metro Hospital and Heart Institute maintains clinical facilities emphasizing cardiac and multi-specialty care. Cardiac catheterization laboratories equipped with high-resolution fluoroscopy and intravascular imaging (IVUS/OCT) support complex coronary and structural heart interventions. Cardiac operating theatres are configured for open and minimally invasive heart surgery with heart-lung bypass, off-pump CABG capability, intraoperative echocardiography, and cell salvage. The Cardiac ICU/CCU provides hemodynamic monitoring, IABP, temporary pacing, and ECMO support. Advanced imaging includes MRI, multi-slice CT (cardiac CTA for coronary anatomy), echocardiography laboratories (including TEE), and digital X-ray. General operating theatres support orthopaedic, general surgical, laparoscopic, and gynaecological procedures. A dialysis unit serves nephrology patients. The clinical laboratory provides comprehensive haematology, biochemistry, cardiac biomarkers, and microbiology services. A 24-hour emergency department handles trauma, acute cardiac events, and other medical emergencies.

Metro Hospital and Heart Institute in Delhi NCR serves international patients seeking cardiac surgery and multi-specialty treatment at a fraction of Western costs. Cardiac procedures — including CABG, valve replacement, and coronary angioplasty — are available at prices 65-80% lower than equivalent procedures in the US, UK, or Australia. Patients from South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan), Central Asia, and Middle Eastern countries commonly seek treatment here. Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport is well-connected internationally. Clinical communication is in English and Hindi. International patients should send relevant cardiac investigations (ECG, echocardiogram, coronary angiography images) for pre-assessment before traveling. The hospital can provide a treatment plan, cost estimate, and medical visa invitation letter to facilitate the travel and treatment process.

Metro Hospital and Heart Institute operates under the regulatory oversight of the Delhi Medical Council and complies with the Clinical Establishments Act and the standards of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. Cardiac programs in India are subject to quality review through the Indian Association of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons and the Cardiological Society of India. The hospital's verification status on MyMedicPlus is listed as needs-verification; patients are strongly encouraged to verify the hospital's current NABH accreditation, JCI status, and the credentials of the cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology team directly before seeking treatment. For major cardiac procedures, independent review of surgical volume data, outcomes, and specialist experience is advisable. NABH accreditation provides the most accessible quality benchmark for hospitals in India.
