Bangalore Medical College The hospital moved to its new buildings at Bannerghatta Road in 2001.

In Patient facilities

There are more than 1150 in patient beds, spread over 8 floors of the two buildings most of them being in general wards and intensive care units and only a few in two private wards. It is considered to be the best cardiology set up in India and Asia and the superspeciality training programme is considered to be one of the best in India at par with AIIMS cardiology.

Intensive Care Units

SJIC has 3 cardiac intensive care units and 2 cardiothoracic units. In total, the cardiology ICU bed numbers 42 and cardiothoracic ICU beds number 24 and are well equipped with individual ventilators, touch panel monitors, infusion pumps, powered beds and all necessary ancillary medical equipment.

Echocardiography lab

The echo lab is one of the busiest in the state with an average daily echo turnover of 160 trans-thoracic echocardiograms and 10 trans-esophageal echocardiograms.Each year around lakhs and lakhs echo is being done,the higest in India and Asia.

Interventional work

Average interventional cardiology workload ranges between 50-60 cases a day of which 150-180 cases per month are percutaneous coronary interventions, there are four Philips digital Cath labs, of which one is the only swing Cath lab in the region, enabling large case volumes and more efficient patient care. SJIC interventional cardiology includes both adult and pediatric cardiology, and every form of interventional procedure, from primary angioplasty, to septal ablation (Sigwart procedure) is performed on a regular basis. It has the distinction of performing the highest number of percutaneous mitral valvlotomy procedures in the world for stenosis of the mitral valve. Pediatric cardiology in SJIC performs all standard pediatric interventional procedures, including percutaneous closure for Atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and also the relatively rare procedure of percutaneous closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects. The angioplasty work carried out in hospital is around 32000 per year the highest in India for a government set up.The institute boasts of the latest instruments and for most of the latest procedures in cardiology or Cath Lab,it is the pioneer in India.

Post Graduate Programmes

SJIC is the only government centre in the state of Karnataka to run post doctoral courses in cardiology and cardio-thoracic surgery. There are presently 21 seats for Doctorate in Medicine (DM) Cardiology and Master Chirurgiae (MCh) Cardio-thoracic surgery every year. These three-year courses are akin to the fellowship courses in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery in other countries, and are entered to after a three year residency (MD/DNB) in either Medicine or Surgery, and are thus considered "Post Doctoral" courses or fellowships. These fellowships are much in demand partly in view of the fact that they are the only government sponsored courses in the state and also due to the high patient volume at SJIC which results in a higher degree of interventional experience after having completed the course, and, as such, are determined after an intensely contested all - India level examination conducted by the government of India. The patient load is one of the highest in India and so the choice of most of the post graduate doctrate trainees.

In 2008, the number of DM seats was increased to an unprecedented 21 per year and MCh seats to 12 per year, making it one of the largest Super-specialty training courses in India and Asia.
