Dr. Ujjawal Kumar — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Ujjawal Kumar is a Senior Consultant at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, in the Delhi NCR, with more than 18 years of experience in cardiology.

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, valvular heart disease and heart failure.

He holds an MBBS, an MD in internal medicine and a DM in cardiology. His post-doctoral fellowship was in pacing and electrophysiology studies, which is the formal basis of the device half of his list.

His published output is the fullest part of his record and is weighted towards unusual cases. He has reported post-COVID tachycardiomyopathy in a young boy with a tricuspid valve posteromedial papillary muscle, and a postinfarct LV aneurysm compressing the left coronary artery, both in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. In Circulation he assessed the response of a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor in pulmonary artery hypertension by flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery. He has also written on hypocalcemia causing acute coronary syndrome in Indian Heart Journal Cardiovascular Case Reports, on acute methemoglobinemia due to nitrobenzene poisoning, and on whether every diabetic and hypertensive patient should receive a statin in CSI Cardiology.

His registry work follows the pacing side of his training. He is a co-investigator in an international multicentre registry collecting real world evidence on left bundle branch area pacing, and in an Indian multicentre registry on remote monitoring with cardiac implantable devices.
