About Dr. Ashok Kumar
Professional summary
Dr. Ashok Kumar is Group Director and Head of the Department of Cardiology at Rela Hospital in Chennai, with more than 11 years of experience. His profile records adult cardiology alongside paediatric device closures for ASD, VSD and PDA.
His list covers coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty and stenting, diagnostic cardiac catheterization and echocardiography, pacemaker and ICD implantation, and the management of coronary artery disease and valvular heart disease.
His training was taken entirely in Hyderabad. He read M.B.B.S. at Osmania Medical College in 2004 and returned there for his M.D. in general medicine in 2011, then took his D.M. in cardiology at the Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences in 2014.

His recognition came early and in three forms. He won a gold medal as best young investigator from Telangana CSI in 2015, the year after completing his DM, then the Vaidya Ratna Award in 2018 and a Times Excellence Award in 2020. The record therefore describes a cardiologist who reached a group director post relatively early, with a practice that spans adult coronary intervention and paediatric device closure.
