About Dr. Nityanand Tripathi
Dr. Nityanand Tripathi is the Principal Director and Head of the Department of Cardiology & Electrophysiology at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi. With over 23 years of clinical excellence, he is a highly accomplished interventional cardiologist and electrophysiologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of complex cardiac conditions. He completed his MBBS and MD in Medicine from the Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, followed by a DM in Cardiology from King George Medical University, Lucknow.
Dr. Tripathi's clinical proficiency spans both interventional cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology. He performs complex coronary interventions including left main coronary artery angioplasty, chronic total occlusion procedures, and bifurcation interventions using cutting-edge imaging guidance such as IVUS, OCT, and functional flow reserve (FFR/iFR) assessment. His expertise extends to rotablation for heavily calcified arteries, peripheral interventions, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). In electrophysiology, he is skilled in radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and supraventricular tachycardia using advanced 3D mapping technology. He also performs pacemaker and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation, including CRT devices and leadless pacemaker technology.
Dr. Tripathi is known for his patient-centric approach and extensive experience managing international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and across South Asia. He maintains a high standard of clinical care combined with compassionate communication, ensuring that patients from diverse backgrounds receive personalized treatment plans. Many international patients seek his expertise for second opinions and definitive cardiac interventions, trusting his judgment and technical skill.
