About Dr. Viveka Kumar
Dr. Viveka Kumar has been working in heart care and interventions for over three decades now. And most patients showing up either have arteries so blocked they’re at heart attack risk or rhythm problems making the heart beat irregularly and dangerously. He works on routine angioplasties to advanced cases needing leadless pacemakers or subcutaneous defibrillators.
Dr. Viveka suggests angioplasty if medicines and lifestyle changes cannot clear mild blockages. He goes through angiograms carefully, and also does TAVI procedures for patients where the valve gets replaced. He got his training from the UK and did fellowships across the USA, Europe, and Denmark, learning the newest heart techniques.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients say Dr. Kumar explains heart blockages and rhythm problems in a simple way. When arteries are blocked badly, he’s clear about what angioplasty involves and the recovery time. Families like that, he tries medicines first when blockages aren’t critical yet.
Those who got pacemakers or defibrillators mention that he explains how the devices work and what life looks like after implant. His record of doing these procedures thousands of times means he’s handled every complication that can pop up.
