Fortis Hospital
Bangalore
Dr. Jayaprakash Shenthar is a senior Cardiologist and Cardiac Electrophysiologist in Bangalore with extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders, cardiac arrhythmias and advanced device-based cardiac therapy.
He currently serves as Director of Cardiology and is closely associated with Electrophysiology and Device Therapy at Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, Bangalore.
Dr. Jayaprakash Shenthar completed his MBBS from J.J.M. Medical College, Davangere, followed by MD in Internal Medicine and DNB in Internal Medicine. He subsequently completed DM and DNB in Cardiology.
He also underwent two years of advanced training in Cardiac Electrophysiology at Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, strengthening his expertise in complex arrhythmia diagnosis, ablation and cardiac device therapy.
His major clinical interests include supraventricular arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, tachycardia, conduction disorders and complex rhythm abnormalities affecting both adult and paediatric patients.
Dr. Jayaprakash Shenthar is highly experienced in catheter ablation procedures and uses advanced 3D electroanatomical mapping systems such as CARTO and EnSite for complex supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias.
His device-therapy practice includes permanent pacemaker implantation, implantable cardioverter defibrillators and advanced cardiac rhythm devices for selected patients with conduction disorders, dangerous arrhythmias and heart failure.
He has also been actively involved in teaching, academic research and development of cardiac electrophysiology training in India. Fortis notes that he helped establish one of the country's early university-recognised Electrophysiology and Pacing programmes.
Dr. Jayaprakash Shenthar has published extensively in national and international scientific journals, and his research work focuses strongly on cardiac electrophysiology, arrhythmias, pacemakers, atrial fibrillation and device therapy.
