Best Cardiologists in Bangalore

Who is a Cardiologist?

A cardiologist is a medical professional who specializes in diagnosing, managing, and treating conditions of the heart and circulatory system. Cardiologists play a central role in preventing, detecting, and treating heart diseases using non-surgical methods or minimally invasive procedures.

There are different types of cardiologists in Bangalore, each with focused expertise:

• Interventional Cardiologists – Specialize in minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty and stenting to treat blocked arteries.
• Electrophysiologists – Experts in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders using advanced tools like 3D mapping, ablation therapy, and pacemaker/ICD implantation.
• Heart Failure Specialists – Manage patients with weakened heart muscles, offering advanced therapies, medication, and transplant evaluation if needed.
• Preventive Cardiology Approach – At Kauvery Hospital, we emphasize prevention through early detection, lifestyle modification, and management of risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.

What Does a Cardiologist Do?

A cardiologist is responsible for identifying and treating a range of cardiovascular conditions including:

• Coronary Artery Disease
• Heart Failure
• Arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats)
• Valvular Heart Diseases
• Hypertension
• Peripheral Artery Disease

Cardiologists use diagnostic tools such as ECG, echocardiography, TMT, cardiac MRI, and angiography. While cardiac surgeons perform open-heart surgeries, heart specialists focus on non-surgical and minimally invasive interventions, medication management, and long-term disease monitoring.

When Should I Go To a Cardiologist?

Consult a heart specialist in Bangalore if you experience any of the following symptoms:

• Chest pain or discomfort
• Shortness of breath (even at rest)
• Irregular heartbeat or palpitations
• Swelling in legs or ankles
• High blood pressure or cholesterol
• Family history of heart disease
• Unexplained fatigue or dizziness

Early consultation with a cardiologist can prevent minor concerns from turning into major cardiac emergencies.

• Ages 40–60: Once every 1–2 years for a routine cardiovascular check-up.
• Above 60 or with existing conditions: Every 6–12 months depending on health status.

If you have a family history of heart disease or lifestyle-related risks like diabetes, obesity, or high stress, early evaluation by a cardiologist is crucial.
