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.
