Between January 1999 to October 2003, I was working in well established, high volume tertiary Cardiac hospitals (Southern Railway Headquarters Hospital, Perambur, Chennai and Madras Medical Mission Hospital, Chennai) and was doing over 2000 Echocardiograms including pediatric and adult, and dobutamine stress studies per year and average of 500 diagnostic angiograms and Cardiac Catheterization, 200 angioplasties, 150 Balloon mitral valvuloplasties, 30 peripheral angioplasties including carotid and renal angioplasties, 30 pace maker implantation and 10 ICDs / CRTs per year. In 2003, I moved with Dr K M Cherian, MS, FRACS, DSc. from Madras Medical Mission Hospital, Chennai, to help him set up the Cardiology Units of Frontier Lifeline Hospital in Mogappair, Chennai, and in St Gregorios Hospital, Parumala, Kerala. These Centers developed into high volume tertiary Cardiac hospitals over the next few years. From January 2008 to March 2018, I was working with Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, a Medical University, in a semi urban/rural area, in the outskirts of Chennai, and was entrusted with setting up and developing a new Cardiac Unit.
