Dr. Sameer Mehrotra — Unit Chief of Interventional Cardiology & Electrophysiology in Delhi NCR

Dr. Sameer Mehrotra is Unit Chief of Interventional Cardiology and Electrophysiology at Artemis Hospital in the Delhi NCR, with more than 18 years of experience.

His title describes a combination that is uncommon in one operator, and his list bears it out. On the interventional side he performs coronary angiography, coronary angioplasty, complex angioplasty and primary angioplasty. On the rhythm side he carries out electrophysiology studies, radiofrequency ablation, VT ablation and AF ablation, and manages arrhythmia.

He holds an MBBS, an MD in general medicine and a DM in cardiology. His device credential is separate and specific: he is an IBHRE-certified cardiac device specialist, which is the formal basis of the pacing and defibrillator side of his work.

His four fellowships are all held by election in international bodies, and they divide along the same two lines as his practice. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention and the American College of Cardiology cover the interventional half, the Heart Rhythm Society covers the electrophysiology half, and the European Society of Cardiology covers both.

In India he belongs to the Cardiological Society of India and the Indian Heart Rhythm Society, again one body for each half of the practice. Alongside Artemis Hospitals in Gurugram he has been at BLK Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi.

The record therefore describes a cardiologist who has credentialled both halves of his unit's work separately rather than treating electrophysiology as an extension of coronary practice.
