Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy

Dr Deepak Krishnamurthy is a profoundly experienced, highly acclaimed Cardiologist in Bangalore with a massive 27 years of elite clinical experience in executing complex cardiovascular interventions and managing severe cardiac emergencies.

He currently serves as the Director and Lead Consultant of Cardiology at the prestigious KIMS Hospital in Mahadevapura.

He is highly polyglot, fluent in English, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil, ensuring incredibly clear, deeply reassuring communication with a diverse patient base navigating the extreme anxiety of massive heart attacks.

Demonstrating unmatched clinical supremacy, Dr Krishnamurthy acts as a definitive authority in high-risk cardiovascular interventions.

He is an absolute master of bleeding-edge structural heart disease interventions, routinely executing TAVR and TMVR procedures to replace failing aortic and mitral valves entirely through a pinhole in the groin, completely avoiding open-heart surgery.

Beyond valve replacements, he executes extreme-risk Endovascular Aortic Stenting for lethal aortic dissections, implants highly advanced microcomputers (AICD and CRT) for patients suffering massive heart failure, and performs complex device closures (ASD, VSD, PDA) to rebuild the failing hearts of infants.

He is a heavily published clinical researcher in the Indian Heart Journal and brings decades of formidable institutional leadership to his practice.

Prior to his current role, he held Senior Consultant positions at several of the highest-volume tertiary centers in India, including Kauvery Hospital, Sakra World Hospital, Narayana Hrudayalaya, and Fortis Hospitals.
