- Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) — managed via the hospital's dedicated cardiac emergency response pathway
- Congenital heart defects — structural abnormalities present from birth

The hospital's stroke unit, ICCU, and cardiac cath lab support both emergency and elective cardiac cases from international patients.

What documents and steps are needed before travelling from Uzbekistan for heart treatment?
Thorough pre-travel preparation reduces delays and ensures your cardiac team in Mumbai has everything needed to begin assessment promptly. Follow these steps before departing Uzbekistan:
- Compile your medical records — Gather all recent ECGs, echocardiogram reports, coronary angiography images, blood test results, and discharge summaries. Digital copies (PDF or DICOM format) are preferred.
- Share records with the cardiology team — Send documents via the booking form on this page or by calling 022 69318050 so a specialist can review them before your arrival.
- Obtain a medical visa (e-MV) — Indian medical visas for Uzbekistan nationals are applied for through the Indian Embassy or the official Indian government e-visa portal. You will need a letter from Lilavati International confirming your appointment.
- Arrange a medical attendant visa — Up to two accompanying family members may apply for a medical attendant (MX) visa.
- Carry original documents — Bring originals of your passport, visa, medical records, and any insurance or payment documentation.

Can I get a cardiac opinion online from a Mumbai specialist before travelling from Uzbekistan?
Yes. Patients from Uzbekistan can request a remote cardiac opinion from Lilavati International's cardiology team before committing to travel. This allows the specialist to review your existing reports, recommend the most appropriate procedure, and provide a preliminary cost estimate — reducing uncertainty and unnecessary trips.
To request a remote opinion:
- Use the booking form on this page to submit your query and attach digital copies of your reports.
- Alternatively, call or WhatsApp 022 69318050 to speak with the international patient support team.
- Provide your most recent ECG, echocardiogram, angiography images (if available), and a summary of current medications.
A remote opinion does not replace an in-person clinical assessment but can confirm whether travel to Mumbai is warranted and which investigations or procedures are likely to be recommended. Explore the cardiology speciality page for more information on the team's scope of practice.
When should a patient from Uzbekistan seek urgent cardiac care in Mumbai?
Seek immediate cardiac evaluation — either locally or by arranging emergency travel — if you or a family member experiences any of the following:
- Chest pain or pressure lasting more than 15 minutes, especially if radiating to the arm, jaw, or back
- Sudden severe shortness of breath at rest or with minimal activity
- Unexplained fainting or loss of consciousness
- Palpitations accompanied by dizziness or near-collapse
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat that does not resolve within a few minutes
- Swelling of both legs combined with breathlessness — a possible sign of heart failure
- A previous heart attack or stent placement and new or worsening symptoms
Warning: If you are already in Mumbai and experience any of the above symptoms, proceed immediately to Lilavati International's emergency department (ground floor, next to MRI) or call the ambulance line at +91 97692 50010. Emergency cardiac care is available 24/7 with no appointment required.
