Clinical expertise

Coronary procedures, prevention, and follow-up.

A procedure-led view of the work: what is assessed, what may be treated, and how long-term risk reduction fits after diagnosis or stenting.

Coronary assessmentCoronary angiogram

Angiographic review of coronary anatomy to clarify narrowing, severity, and treatment options.

TreatmentPCI and angioplasty

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stenting, including more than 1000 PCI procedures as first operator.

Emergency coronary carePrimary PCI

Intervention for acute coronary syndromes when urgent anatomy and clinical status require rapid decisions.

Supportive proceduresIABP and temporary pacing

Intra-aortic balloon pump support and temporary pacemaker implantation are listed procedural services.

Structural exposureTAVR

Structural-intervention exposure includes transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

HemodynamicsRight and left heart catheterization

Invasive assessment when pressure, anatomy, and clinical context need catheter-based evaluation.

Prevention after diagnosis

After a heart attack, stent, angiogram finding, or high-risk diagnosis, the work continues through blood pressure control, diabetes review, smoking cessation, exercise advice, medicine adherence, and follow-up planning.

Lipidology and LDL targets

Cholesterol care is treated as practical risk reduction, especially after coronary artery disease, stenting, diabetes, or recurrent cardiovascular risk. The publications page includes Indian Heart Journal work on LDL goals in coronary artery disease.

Cardio-oncology

Five years as consultant cardiologist and onco-cardiologist at Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar anchor this interest. The work covers cardiac assessment before cancer therapy, surveillance during treatment, and follow-up afterwards, planned with the treating oncology team. A dedicated page explains when a review helps and what it involves: cardio-oncology care.

Noninvasive cardiology services

Noninvasive services include ECG, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, carotid and vertebral Doppler study, contrast echocardiography, exercise and pharmacological stress testing, 24-hour Holter monitoring, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
