Dr. Govinda Pillai

Dr Govinda Pillai is an Interventional Cardiologist at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, with 38+ years of experience. Apollo lists his qualifications as MBBS, MD in Medicine and DM in Cardiology. He consults in English, Hindi, Marathi and Malayalam and provides specialist assessment for adults with coronary and other cardiovascular disease.

His practice includes coronary intervention and cardiac catheterisation, with additional work in stress echocardiography, carotid artery disease assessment and cardiac rehabilitation. These areas support evaluation of patients with suspected or established coronary artery disease, symptoms such as chest pain or breathlessness, and cardiovascular conditions requiring invasive or non-invasive investigation.

His medical training includes MBBS at MGIMS, Sevagram, followed by MD in Medicine at Seth G. S. Medical College, Mumbai, and DM in Cardiology at KEM Hospital, Mumbai. His professional affiliations include the Cardiological Society of India, Interventional Council of India, Indian College of Cardiology, Indian Society of Electrocardiology and Indian Medical Association.

For patients being considered for angiography or angioplasty, treatment planning depends on symptoms, ECG and imaging findings, coronary anatomy, cardiac function and overall medical risk. Where intervention is appropriate, the procedure is selected after reviewing the extent of disease and alternative medical or surgical options.

His current Apollo profile remains the primary reference for his hospital affiliation, experience and core cardiology credentials. He also provides longitudinal follow-up for patients who need ongoing medical therapy after diagnostic or interventional cardiac procedures.
