Fortis Memorial Research Institute (Gurgaon) launched a state-of-the-art CATH LAB with India’s first ‘3D Electro-Anatomical Mapping Carto 7 machine’. Fortis Memorial Research Institute is the first and only hospital in India and South Asia to acquire the advanced 3D mapping machine.

The ‘3D electro-anatomical mapping carto 7’ machine provides a comprehensive model of the entire heart, while simultaneously relaying information regarding the electrical activity (in the heart). The machine allows for the mapping of complex heart arrhythmias supporting electrophysiologists in making optimal treatment decisions.

Dr Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, Managing Director and CEO, Fortis Healthcare Limited said, “I am extremely proud to announce the launch of our state-of-the-art CATH Lab with the 3D Electro-Anatomical Mapping Carto 7 machine. We are the first and only hospital in India and South Asia to acquire the 3D mapping Carto 7 machine, and as a leading healthcare provider in India, we constantly strive to ensure that the technology we employ in our service delivery remains at par with global standards. I congratulate Dr Kler and his team on their success.”

Dr. TS Kler, Chairman, Fortis Heart and Vascular Institute, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram and Fortis Hospital, Vasant Kunj, said, “The recently acquired 3D electro-anatomical mapping Carto 7 machine will allow us to map complex arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardias and Atrial fibrillations. This will reduce mortality by enabling us to employ targeted interventions. There is an urgent need for such a machine because of the widespread prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias which are causing morbidities and resulting in hospitalisations. The 3D cardiac mapping system will prove to be vital in our work as it will reduce mapping time by offering information on the circuits and location of arrhythmias during the procedure. Fortis Heart and Vascular Institute has also developed the latest non-surgical treatment for structural heart disease including TAVR, Mitraclip and tric valve. We are fully geared to do cardiac transplant and Artificial Heart for patients in need.”
