Specialty Areas and Treatments

Dr Mohan Lal's practice covers the full range of adult cardiology, from preventive risk assessment to interventional procedures and pacemaker implantation.

Coronary Artery Disease and Chest Pain

Dr Lal evaluates and manages coronary artery disease, angina and acute coronary syndromes through structured diagnostic and therapeutic protocols.

Chest pain is worked up to distinguish cardiac from non-cardiac causes before treatment is planned, which matters because a large share of patients arriving with chest pain do not have coronary disease and should not be treated as though they do.

For patients who have already had a heart attack, he handles follow-up and secondary prevention, focusing on medication optimisation and modification of the risk factors that led to the event.

Interventional Cardiology and Pacemaker Implantation

Dr Lal trained in interventional cardiology through fellowships at PGIMER Chandigarh and Escorts Hospital, New Delhi, and has substantial experience in interventional cardiac procedures and pacemaker implantation.

Patients with symptomatic bradycardia, heart block or conduction system disease are assessed for pacing, with device selection and implantation planned around the specific rhythm abnormality and the patient's overall cardiac status.

Hypertension and Preventive Cardiology

A significant part of Dr Lal's practice is long-term blood pressure control and cardiovascular risk reduction.

He manages hypertension with attention to medication optimisation, particularly in patients whose pressure has stayed uncontrolled on existing therapy, and handles lipid disorders alongside it.

Preventive consultations include cardiovascular risk assessment and screening for patients with family history, diabetes or other risk factors, where the aim is identifying disease before symptoms appear.

Heart Failure Management

For patients with chronic or acute heart failure, Dr Lal handles diagnosis and staging, optimisation of medical therapy, and fluid balance and symptom management.

The goal in these cases is reducing hospital readmissions and maintaining quality of life, which depends heavily on regular monitoring and adjusting therapy as the condition evolves rather than leaving a patient on a fixed regimen.

Arrhythmia and Rhythm Disorders

Dr Lal evaluates palpitations, irregular heartbeat and other rhythm abnormalities through clinical assessment, ECG and Holter monitoring.

Where a pacing device is indicated, he proceeds to pacemaker implantation, and where the rhythm disorder requires electrophysiological intervention he coordinates onward referral.

Valvular Heart Disease

Mitral and aortic valve disease are managed through clinical monitoring and serial echocardiography, tracking how the valve lesion progresses over time so that intervention is timed correctly.

Where surgical or catheter-based intervention becomes necessary, Dr Lal coordinates the referral and continues long-term follow-up afterwards.
