In a groundbreaking advancement for cardiac healthcare in Navi Mumbai, Terna Speciality Hospital & Research Centre has relaunched its Advanced Cardiology Unit, now equipped with the Artis One Edition X Cathlab—a globally acclaimed diagnostic and interventional system that enables precision-guided treatment for complex heart conditions. This state-of-the-art relaunch marks a milestone in Terna’s ongoing mission to elevate patient outcomes and set new benchmarks in interventional cardiology.
As a Heart Hospital in Navi Mumbai, Terna has long served as a trusted destination for patients battling heart disease, the leading cause of mortality in India. According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for over 28% of total deaths in India, with heart disease striking at younger ages compared to Western populations. Alarmingly, the Indian Heart Association reports that 50% of heart attacks in Indian men occur under the age of 50, and 25% under the age of 40. This makes timely access to advanced cardiac facilities not just a luxury but a necessity.
The newly launched Artis One Edition X Cathlab brings real-time stent visualisation through CLEAR Stent Live, high-precision flat emitter X-ray tube technology, and Angulation-dependent Exposure Control (AEC) for reduced radiation exposure. Its compact C-arm design also improves accessibility and procedural accuracy, even during complex cases. These features translate to faster diagnoses, lower procedural risks, and better patient outcomes—especially in acute coronary events.
“Heart disease today is no longer an issue of old age. We’re seeing patients as young as 30 with significant blockages. This Cathlab allows us to intervene early, accurately, and safely,” said Dr. Rakesh Tirmale, FSCAI (USA),AFESC (EUROPE), MBBS, MD (Medicine), DM (Cardiology), AFESC, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Terna Speciality Hospital. “Whether it’s a life-threatening heart attack or a structural defect, the Artis One Edition X ensures we’re offering the most advanced care available in India.”
Terna Hospital’s Advanced Cardiology Unit now performs a wide spectrum of minimally invasive and life-saving procedures, including coronary angiography and angioplasty, stent implantation, pacemaker insertion, balloon valvuloplasty, and device closures for congenital heart defects. The hospital is also equipped to manage pediatric cardiac interventions, peripheral angioplasties, neuro intervention procedures, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA)—all under one roof.
With over 7,000 successful cardiac surgeries, 40,000 inpatients treated, and 200,000+ patients served across all departments, Terna Speciality Hospital’s cardiology wing combines volume with excellence. The facility is staffed with over 200 expert doctors, supported by critical care professionals, cardiac anesthetists, and state-of-the-art ICU units designed for 24/7 monitoring.
The importance of rapid response in cardiac emergencies cannot be overstated. Studies indicate that for every 30-minute delay in treating a heart attack, mortality increases by 7.5%. To address this, Terna offers round-the-clock emergency cardiac services with dedicated triage systems, ensuring that heart attack patients are attended to within the golden hour.
Non-invasive diagnostic capabilities further strengthen Terna’s offering. The hospital utilizes 2D Echo, ECG, stress testing (TMT), ambulatory BP monitoring, Holter monitoring, and cutting-edge electrophysiology tools such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Signal-Averaged ECG (SAECG). These help in early identification of arrhythmias and patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)—a condition that claims over 428,000 lives annually in India alone, often without prior warning.
“At Terna, we look beyond just treatment—we focus on prevention, timely diagnosis, and complete recovery. Our integrated care model is what differentiates us,” Dr. Tirmale emphasized.
Accredited by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH), Terna Speciality Hospital operates under the visionary leadership of Hon. Dr. Padmasinhaji Patil, Shri Ranajagjitsinha Patil, and Shri Malhar Ranajagjitsinha Patil. The hospital’s mission is deeply rooted in community empowerment and clinical excellence. Spread across five floors and over 2 lakh square feet, the hospital is centrally located for easy access, especially in emergencies—a critical factor considering that urban Maharashtra has seen a 17% annual rise in reported cardiac events over the last five years.
This relaunch solidifies Terna’s position as a technology-forward institution that understands the urgency and complexity of cardiac care in India today. From lifestyle-related heart conditions to structural and congenital anomalies, Terna’s comprehensive care framework ensures that every patient receives specialized attention backed by the latest in medical science.
“The new Cathlab is more than a technological milestone—it’s a reaffirmation of our promise to patients,” Dr. Tirmale concluded. “We are here not just to treat but to transform cardiac care in Navi Mumbai and beyond.”
Patients in Navi Mumbai and surrounding areas can now access world-class cardiology services with confidence, comfort, and speed—right at Terna.
