Dr. Arvind Sethi is an Additional Director in the Department of Cardiology at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi, and a highly respected interventional cardiologist with over 22 years of clinical experience. He holds a distinguished set of qualifications: MBBS from Maulana Azad Medical College, MD in Medicine from Lady Hardinge Medical College & Dr. RML Hospital, and DNB Cardiology from the prestigious Escorts Heart Institute, where he completed his specialty training. His fellowship credentials—FESC (European Society of Cardiology), FCSI (Cardiological Society of India), and FIMSA (International Medical Sciences Academy)—reflect his standing in the global cardiology community.

Dr. Sethi has developed specialized expertise in complex coronary interventions, including coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty, chronic total occlusion (CTO) management, and radial artery access techniques. He is equally experienced in device implantation (pacemakers and CRT/CRT-D systems) and advanced heart failure management. His clinical approach integrates comprehensive echocardiography assessment with preventive cardiology principles, ensuring patients receive both acute intervention and long-term protective care. He has been a co-investigator in multiple international clinical trials, including TUXEDO-INDIA, NANOLUTE FIM IN, BIOFLOW-III Asia Registry, and PRASUGREL Registry, demonstrating his engagement with evidence-based practice and innovation.

Dr. Sethi regularly welcomes international patients seeking cardiology care from the Gulf states, Africa, and neighbouring regions. He is experienced in managing complex cases from abroad and collaborates with Gaf Healthcare to ensure seamless communication, pre-arrival assessments, and culturally sensitive care.
