About Dr. Praveen Chandra

Dr. Praveen Chandra is Chairman of Interventional Cardiology at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram, India, and one of the country's foremost leaders in interventional cardiac procedures. With over 25 years of clinical experience, he holds an MBBS, MD, and DM in Cardiology, bringing deep expertise to complex coronary and structural heart interventions.

Dr. Chandra is renowned for his mastery of advanced techniques including coronary angiography, complex and chronic total occlusion angioplasty, IVUS-guided procedures, and FFR/iFR assessment. He has pioneered several landmark procedures in India: performing the first percutaneous aortic valve implantation without surgery, the first percutaneous mitral valve repair, and being the first to introduce FFR, bioabsorbable stents, and AngioJet thrombectomy technology. His clinical work is supported by approximately 100 peer-reviewed articles and reviews published in national and international cardiology journals.

International patients from the Gulf, Africa, and Southeast Asia benefit from Dr. Chandra's experience managing complex cases and offering structured follow-up care. He is fluent in English and Hindi, ensuring clear communication with diverse patient populations. His team at Medanta ensures seamless coordination for overseas patients, from pre-procedure investigations to post-intervention rehabilitation.

Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram is a NABH-accredited tertiary cardiac center equipped with state-of-the-art catheterization laboratories, high-dependency units, and an experienced nursing team trained in international care protocols. The hospital's proximity to Delhi, combined with world-class infrastructure and competitive treatment costs, makes it an ideal destination for international cardiac patients seeking expert interventional care.

Dr. Chandra's Padma Shri award (2016) from the President of India recognizes his extraordinary contributions to medicine and makes him a trusted choice for patients requiring the highest standard of cardiac intervention.
