Hospital Overview
Fortis Escorts Heart Institute is a specialised cardiac centre in Delhi and one of the most respected heart hospitals in Asia. Known for its expertise in cardiology and cardiac surgery, the hospital attracts patients from around the world seeking advanced heart treatment, innovative procedures, and access to highly experienced specialists.
Founded in 1988 as a dedicated cardiac institute, the hospital later became part of the Fortis Healthcare network. Unlike general multi-speciality hospitals, Fortis Escorts focuses exclusively on cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Over more than three decades, it has established itself as one of Asia’s leading centres for interventional cardiology and complex cardiac procedures.
The hospital specialises in adult and paediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery, and advanced cardiovascular interventions. Its specialists perform coronary artery bypass surgery, including off-pump procedures, heart valve replacement, angioplasty, and treatment for complex arrhythmias. The institute is also recognised for its heart failure and transplant programmes, providing advanced care for patients with severe cardiovascular conditions.
Fortis Escorts Heart Institute is equipped with advanced cardiac technologies and specialised treatment facilities. The hospital features 13 operating theatres, five modern catheterisation laboratories, and dedicated cardiac intensive care units. Advanced 3D cardiac mapping systems support arrhythmia treatment, while minimally invasive and robotic-assisted techniques help reduce recovery times and improve patient outcomes.
The institute is home to internationally recognised cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and cardiovascular specialists. Its highly focused clinical environment allows physicians to manage a large volume of complex cardiac cases each year. More than 200,000 cardiac procedures have been performed at the hospital. Treatment plans are developed according to international evidence-based protocols and multidisciplinary consultation. International patients receive dedicated support services, including medical coordinators and interpreter assistance.
The hospital’s quality and patient safety standards are supported by NABH accreditation, one of India’s leading healthcare certifications. Fortis Escorts was among the first hospitals in India to introduce advanced technologies such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). Continuous quality monitoring, specialist training, and adherence to international cardiac care protocols have helped establish the institute as one of the region’s most trusted destinations for cardiovascular treatment.
