Heart disease is the leading cause of death in India, and access to fast, expert cardiac care is the single most important factor in survival and recovery. If you or a family member needs heart care in Nagpur — whether it is a suspected heart attack, a blocked artery, or a planned cardiac surgery — this guide explains everything you need to know about cardiac services at Hope Hospital, Nagpur.
Why Cardiac Care in Nagpur Matters
Nagpur and the surrounding Vidarbha region have seen a significant rise in cardiovascular disease — driven by rising stress levels, sedentary lifestyles, diabetes, and hypertension. Yet many patients still travel to Pune or Mumbai for cardiac surgery, losing precious hours that can determine survival.
Hope Hospital has built a comprehensive cardiac care centre right here in Nagpur — with interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, a dedicated Cardiac ICU, and a 24/7 emergency team — so that patients from Nagpur, Kamptee, Butibori, Wardha, Amravati, and across Vidarbha can receive world-class cardiac care without leaving the city.
With 384+ Google reviews and a 4.5/5 rating, Hope Hospital is consistently ranked among the most trusted hospitals in Central India for cardiac care.

Heart Attack Emergency — The Golden Hour
A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes completely blocked, cutting off blood supply to part of the heart muscle. Every minute the blockage remains, more heart muscle is permanently damaged or dies.
Warning Signs of a Heart Attack — Call 071-22980073 Immediately
- Chest pain or pressure — tightness, squeezing, or crushing sensation in the centre or left side of the chest
- Pain radiating to the arm, jaw, neck, or back — especially the left arm or jaw
- Sudden shortness of breath — difficulty breathing even at rest
- Cold sweats — sudden profuse sweating without exertion
- Nausea or vomiting — especially when combined with chest discomfort
- Dizziness or light-headedness — feeling faint or unsteady
- Unexplained extreme fatigue — sudden severe tiredness, especially in women
Do not drive yourself. Call 071-22980073 immediately — Hope Hospital's cardiac emergency team is available 24/7. The sooner you reach us, the more heart muscle we can save.
Primary Angioplasty Within the Golden Hour
The golden hour is the first 60–90 minutes after a heart attack begins. Opening the blocked artery within this window using emergency PCI (primary angioplasty) dramatically reduces the extent of heart damage, prevents heart failure, and saves lives.
Hope Hospital's 24/7 cardiac catheterisation lab and on-call interventional cardiology team are equipped to perform primary angioplasty at any hour — day or night, including weekends and holidays. Our goal is to minimise door-to-balloon time — the time from when you arrive at the hospital to when the blocked artery is opened.
If you suspect a heart attack: call 071-22980073 and come directly to Hope Hospital, Teka Naka, Kamptee Road, Nagpur. Do not wait to see if it passes.

What to Expect — Cardiac Procedures Explained
Coronary Angiography
Angiography is a diagnostic procedure that uses a special dye and X-ray imaging to visualise the coronary arteries and identify blockages. It is performed under local anesthesia through the wrist (radial approach) or groin. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes and patients are typically discharged the same day or the next morning. If a blockage is found, angioplasty may be performed in the same sitting.
Angioplasty (PCI — Percutaneous Coronary Intervention)
Angioplasty opens narrowed or blocked coronary arteries using a small balloon catheter. A stent (small metal mesh tube) is then placed to keep the artery open. It is minimally invasive — no open-heart surgery, no general anesthesia. Most patients are discharged within 2–3 days and return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
CABG — Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (Bypass Surgery)
CABG is recommended when multiple coronary arteries are significantly blocked and angioplasty is not sufficient. A healthy blood vessel (from the chest, arm, or leg) is used to create a bypass route around the blocked artery, restoring blood supply to the heart muscle. Recovery takes 6–8 weeks. Hope Hospital performs both on-pump CABG (using heart-lung bypass machine) and off-pump OPCAB (beating heart surgery).

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the warning signs of a heart attack?
Warning signs include: chest pain or pressure, pain radiating to the arm or jaw, sudden shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, dizziness, and extreme fatigue. If you experience these symptoms, call Hope Hospital immediately at 071-22980073 — do not drive yourself. Time is critical and every minute of delay increases permanent heart damage.
What is the difference between angioplasty and bypass surgery?
Angioplasty (PCI) is minimally invasive — a stent opens the blocked artery, no open-heart surgery, recovery in 2–3 days. Bypass surgery (CABG) creates a new route around blockages using a blood vessel graft — it is open-heart surgery with a 6–8 week recovery. The right choice depends on the number and severity of blockages, which our cardiologists assess after angiography.
What is the cost of heart surgery in Nagpur?
Private costs at Hope Hospital: Angiography ₹8,000–₹20,000; Angioplasty ₹1–₹3 lakh; CABG bypass surgery ₹2.5–₹5 lakh. Eligible patients under Ayushman Bharat, MJPJAY, CGHS, ECHS and 20+ government schemes receive cardiac surgery completely FREE. Call 071-22980073 to check your eligibility.
