Dr. Saurabh Ajit Deshpande

Dr Saurabh Ajit Deshpande is a highly distinguished Interventional Cardiologist and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologist in Mumbai with 17 years of highly specialized clinical and surgical experience.

He currently serves as a Consultant Cardiologist at Jaslok Hospital And Research Centre in Cumballa Hill and AllCure Superspeciality Hospital.

He is fluent in 5 languages, including English, Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam, and Kannada, ensuring clear and empathetic communication with a diverse range of patients.

His clinical focus is the surgical management of the heart's complex electrical system. After earning his terminal DM in Cardiology, he pursued extreme sub-specialization, completing a rigorous Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Cardiac Electrophysiology, Heart Failure, and Pacing at the world-renowned Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research.

Demonstrating immense surgical authority, Dr Deshpande is a master of Radiofrequency (RF) Ablations. For patients suffering from severe, chaotic arrhythmias (like Atrial Fibrillation), he threads highly sensitive catheters directly into the beating heart, mapping the exact microscopic tissue causing the electrical short circuit and precisely burning it away to restore a flawless rhythm.

He executes the most advanced device implantations in modern medicine. Moving beyond standard pacemakers, he executes highly complex 'Conduction System Pacing' (His Bundle and LBBB Pacing), wiring the device directly into the heart's natural neurological pathways for absolute physiological perfection. He also executes extreme high-risk Pacemaker Lead Extractions, surgically removing infected or failing wires from inside the heart.

He is a globally recognized authority in rhythm disorders, holding active memberships in the elite global Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), and the Indian Heart Rhythm Society (IHRS).
