Dr. G N Prasad

Dr. G N Prasad is Senior Consultant - Cardiology at SIMS Hospital, Chennai, with more than 23 years of clinical experience. His qualifications include MBBS, MD in Medicine and DNB in Cardiology. His current work combines interventional cardiology with cardiac-device therapy, heart-failure management and treatment of selected peripheral vascular disease.

His main areas include coronary intervention, cardiac-device implantation and peripheral vascular intervention. SIMS also highlights specialised international training in Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for heart failure in Milan, Italy. CRT may be considered for selected patients with heart failure and electrical conduction delay after assessment of ventricular function, symptoms and ECG findings.

Dr. Prasad's profile emphasises evidence-based management of complex cardiovascular conditions and precision-led interventional treatment. He is a member of the Cardiological Society of India. His practice requires integration of symptoms, ECG and echocardiography findings, coronary or vascular imaging and overall cardiovascular risk before deciding whether invasive treatment or device therapy is appropriate.

Patients seeking a cardiology opinion should provide recent ECGs, echocardiograms, angiography or CT-coronary images, heart-failure records, previous device reports and a current medication list. Treatment may range from medication and risk-factor management to coronary intervention, peripheral intervention, pacemaker or other device implantation, or CRT.

The final choice depends on anatomy, rhythm findings, ventricular function, kidney function, comorbidities and previous procedures. Follow-up after device treatment includes programming checks and assessment of clinical response.
