About Dr. Rajeev Rathi

Dr. Rajeev Rathi is a distinguished interventional cardiologist and Principal Director & Head of the Transradial Interventional Programme at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, in New Delhi. With over 30 years of experience in cardiac sciences and interventional cardiology, he brings proven expertise in managing the most complex coronary and structural heart conditions. He holds qualifications including MBBS and MD (Medicine) from Pt. JNM Medical College, Raipur, and DM (Cardiology) from GSVM Medical College, Kanpur.

Dr. Rathi specialises in complex coronary angioplasties involving chronic total occlusion, bifurcation lesions, and left main stenosis. He brings more than 18 years of dedicated experience in trans-radial coronary interventions and serves as a mentor to fellow interventional cardiologists in this minimally invasive technique. Beyond coronary work, he is proficient in catheter-based management of valvular heart disease—mitral, aortic, and pulmonary valves—and adult congenital heart disease interventions. His clinical portfolio includes diagnostic cardiac catheterization, TAVI/TAVR, pacemaker implantation, and echocardiography.

Dr. Rathi treats international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia, offering both in-person consultation and secure video consultations through Gaf Healthcare. His commitment to patient care extends beyond the clinic: he pioneered "Hriday Suraksha Abhiyan" (Heart Protection Campaign), a landmark project providing emergency cardiac care to workers, and developed "The Heart App"—a free smartphone tool helping patients and healthcare workers recognise early heart attack symptoms. He maintains active involvement in international clinical trials and research, with over 18 publications in national and international journals.

Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket is a NABH-accredited multispecialty centre equipped with state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratories, 24/7 emergency services, and dedicated international patient support. The hospital's commitment to interventional excellence and Dr. Rathi's leadership in advancing trans-radial techniques make it a preferred destination for complex cardiac interventions. International patients benefit from English-language support, streamlined admission pathways via Gaf Healthcare, and access to world-class cardiac infrastructure in the heart of India's capital.
