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.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 angioplastyAngioplasty

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 3 seats for Doctorate in Medicine (DM) Cardiology and Magister 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 for 1 to 2 of the available 3 seats in either cardiology or CT Surgery, the remaining seats being reserved for state candidates.In 2008, the number of DM seats was increased to an unprecedented 10 per year and MCh seats to 5 per year, making it one of the largest Super-specialty training courses in India.
