Dr. Arjun Sreekumar holds an MBBS, MD in Internal Medicine and DNB in Cardiology. He completed his MBBS at Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi, followed by postgraduate training in Internal Medicine at Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi. He subsequently pursued superspeciality training in Cardiology at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi, obtaining his DNB in Cardiology in 2019. His medical training combines general internal medicine with specialist cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment.
As an Interventional Cardiologist in Bangalore, Dr. Arjun has expertise in coronary artery disease and catheter-based cardiovascular interventions. His professional profile highlights a particular interest in advanced coronary interventions supported by intracoronary imaging. These approaches help specialists evaluate coronary artery abnormalities and plan appropriate treatment for selected patients with cardiovascular disease. His clinical work also includes the assessment of patients with chest pain, suspected coronary artery disease and other cardiac symptoms.
Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has a documented clinical interest in heart failure management and structural heart disease. His approach includes reviewing symptoms, evaluating cardiovascular investigations and selecting appropriate medical or interventional management. Heart failure treatment may involve medication optimisation, monitoring of cardiac function and coordination with other cardiovascular specialists. Structural heart disease assessment requires an understanding of the patient's heart anatomy, diagnostic findings and overall medical condition.
In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Arjun has contributed to academic medicine through research and scientific presentations. His professional profiles mention a Best Paper Award at AIIMS Medicine Update and research comparing coronary artery calcium scoring in non-elderly prediabetic individuals with a normal population, published in the Indian Heart Journal. His academic work also includes a case report concerning corticosteroid-induced cryptococcal meningitis in an HIV-negative patient, published in BMJ Case Reports.
At Fortis Hospital Bannerghatta Road and Ikshana Multispeciality and Diagnostic Centre in Bangalore, Dr. Arjun Sreekumar provides cardiology consultations and cardiovascular assessment with an emphasis on evidence-based medical care. His clinical interests include coronary artery disease, heart failure, structural heart conditions, preventive cardiac care and cardiac emergencies. Treatment recommendations are based on individual clinical findings, relevant investigations and the suitability of medical or interventional approaches.
Coronary artery disease develops when plaque builds up inside the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has expertise in evaluating and managing coronary artery disease. Treatment may include cardiovascular risk reduction, medications and selected catheter-based interventions depending on symptoms, investigations and disease severity.
Coronary angiography is a catheter-based imaging procedure used to identify narrowing or blockages in the coronary arteries. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has documented expertise in coronary interventions. Assessment helps determine whether medical treatment, further imaging or a revascularisation procedure may be suitable for a patient with suspected coronary artery disease.
Coronary angioplasty is a catheter-based procedure used to widen selected narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, often involving placement of a stent. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar's professional profile documents coronary interventional expertise. The need for angioplasty depends on clinical symptoms, coronary anatomy and the findings of appropriate cardiovascular investigations.
Intracoronary imaging uses specialised catheter-based technology to examine the coronary arteries from within. Techniques such as intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography may support selected coronary interventions. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has a documented clinical interest in advanced coronary procedures supported by intracoronary imaging.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention is a minimally invasive approach to treating certain coronary artery blockages through catheter-based techniques. It may include balloon angioplasty and coronary stenting. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has expertise in coronary interventional cardiology, with procedural suitability determined by coronary anatomy, symptoms and overall patient risk.
Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump or fill effectively enough to meet the body's needs. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has a documented clinical interest in heart failure management. Treatment may involve evidence-based medication, evaluation of contributing conditions, lifestyle guidance and regular monitoring of symptoms and cardiac function.
Structural heart disease refers to abnormalities affecting the heart's valves, chambers or other anatomical structures. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar specialises in assessing structural cardiac conditions. Diagnostic evaluation may involve echocardiography and other cardiovascular imaging, with further treatment determined by the type and severity of the abnormality.
Acute coronary syndrome includes urgent conditions caused by a sudden reduction in blood flow to the heart, including certain heart attacks. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has experience in cardiac emergencies and coronary artery disease management. Treatment requires prompt assessment, appropriate medication and consideration of urgent coronary intervention when indicated.
A heart attack occurs when blood flow to part of the heart muscle becomes severely restricted or blocked. Emergency medical evaluation is essential to identify the condition and restore blood flow when appropriate. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has documented expertise in emergency cardiac care and coronary intervention assessment.
Preventive cardiology focuses on reducing the risk of future cardiovascular disease through evaluation of blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, lifestyle and other risk factors. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar has a documented interest in preventive heart care. Assessment may include risk estimation, medical treatment and recommendations for long-term cardiovascular health.
High blood pressure can increase the risk of coronary artery disease, heart failure, stroke and other complications. Cardiovascular assessment helps identify the effects of hypertension on the heart. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar's preventive cardiology practice includes evaluating important risk factors and planning appropriate heart-related medical management.
Dyslipidaemia involves abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that may increase cardiovascular risk. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar's work in preventive cardiology includes evaluating coronary disease risk factors. Management may involve lipid testing, lifestyle recommendations and suitable medications based on the patient's overall cardiovascular risk and clinical history.
Echocardiography uses ultrasound to evaluate the heart's chambers, valves, movement and pumping function. It is commonly used to investigate heart failure and structural heart disease. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar's clinical expertise includes cardiac imaging and diagnostics, although his personal performance of echocardiography at each practice location should be confirmed.
An electrocardiogram records the electrical activity of the heart and may help identify rhythm abnormalities, signs of reduced blood flow and other cardiac conditions. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar provides cardiovascular evaluation supported by appropriate diagnostic investigations. ECG interpretation may form part of assessing chest discomfort, palpitations and suspected heart disease.
Cardiac stress testing assesses the heart's response to physical activity or medically induced stress. It may be recommended for selected patients with symptoms suggesting coronary artery disease. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar's coronary and preventive cardiology expertise supports interpretation of appropriate investigations and further cardiovascular treatment planning.
Chest pain and palpitations can result from several cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. Cardiology assessment may include medical history, physical examination, ECG, imaging or other investigations. Dr. Arjun Sreekumar evaluates cardiovascular conditions and helps determine appropriate medical management or further testing based on individual clinical findings.
