AIIMS New Delhi and PGIMER Chandigarh Dual Trained Interventional Cardiologist with FSCAI and Renal Denervation Expertise

Interventional cardiology is a sub specialty where the training institution directly shapes the case volume, complexity, and procedural breadth a cardiologist encounters during foundational years. Dr Rasalkar's training pathway through MD Medicine from AIIMS, New Delhi followed by DM Cardiology from PGIMER, Chandigarh represents progression through India's two most competitive national medical institutions. The AIIMS + PGIMER dual credential is exceptionally rare among practising cardiologists nationally, combining AIIMS' broad internal medicine rigour with PGIMER's world-renowned cardiology programme.

His FSCAI (Fellow of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions) is an international interventional cardiology credential from the leading US-based interventional cardiology society. His sub-specialty engagement with Renal Denervation Therapy (RDN) for resistant hypertension and injectable antilipidemic agents (PCSK9 inhibitors) for refractory dyslipidaemia reflects adoption of genuinely advanced therapeutic approaches beyond conventional cardiac intervention.

Combined with his Associate Professor academic role at KIMS Hospital, CSI and SCAI memberships, multi-hospital career across nine named institutions spanning AIIMS, PGIMER, and six Bangalore hospitals, and current practice at Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road (₹900), Unique Healthcare Centre Rajajinagar (₹900), and Kanva Diagnostic Services (₹1000), this depth of AIIMS and PGIMER trained interventional cardiology is now offered across three Bangalore locations.
