When people talk about revolutionizing heart care in India, Dr. Praveen Chandra’s name inevitably comes up. As Chairman of Interventional Cardiology at Medanta, he’s not just practiced medicine – he’s transformed it.

Remember when heart valve replacements meant major surgery? Dr. Chandra changed that narrative by performing India’s first Percutaneous Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), allowing patients to receive new heart valves without a single surgical incision. He followed this breakthrough with India’s first percutaneous mitral valve repair, bringing hope to countless patients with valvular heart disease.

His passion for innovation hasn’t stopped there. From introducing the Angio Jet Thrombectomy Device to pioneering the use of FFR and bioabsorbable stents, he’s consistently brought world-class cardiac care to Indian patients.  These contributions earned him the prestigious Padma Shri in 2016 – a recognition of how his work has touched countless lives.

Beyond the cath lab, Dr. Chandra has shared his knowledge through over 100 publications and as a respected voice at international conferences.  Whether he’s performing a complex procedure or teaching the next generation of cardiologists, his approach combines technical brilliance with genuine compassion.

For patients facing heart disease, having Dr. Chandra in their corner means access not just to cutting-edge treatment, but to a doctor who sees the person behind the condition.
