Interventional Cardiologist

About The Opportunity

• Perform diagnostic coronary angiography and a full range of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) — primary, elective and complex cases — with excellent procedural documentation and informed consent practice.
• Lead acute coronary syndrome (ACS) responses including primary PCI for STEMI, ensuring rapid door‑to‑balloon times and coordinated multi‑disciplinary care.
• Utilize adjunctive intravascular imaging and physiology (IVUS, OCT, FFR/iFR) to optimise stent selection and procedural outcomes; adopt evidence‑based adjuncts and techniques.
• Manage pre‑ and post‑procedural inpatient cardiology care: pharmacotherapy, complication management, discharge planning and outpatient follow‑up protocols.
• Drive cath‑lab quality, safety and efficiency: protocol development, inventory/device selection, complication audits and adherence to infection control and radiation safety standards.
• Supervise and mentor junior cardiology staff and fellows; contribute to training, case reviews, morbidity & mortality meetings and clinical governance activities.
  

Skills & Qualifications

Must‑Have

• DM or DrNB in Interventional Cardiology (or recognised equivalent) with valid Indian medical registration.
• Proven hands‑on experience in a busy cath‑lab performing diagnostic angiography and PCI (including primary PCI for STEMI).
• Practical experience with intravascular imaging (IVUS/OCT) and physiology (FFR/iFR) for decision making.
• Strong clinical judgement in peri‑procedural care, complication management and ACS pathways.
• ACLS certification and familiarity with cath‑lab radiation safety and sterile techniques.
  

Preferred

• Experience leading a cath‑lab team or running an interventional service; involvement in audits, SOP development and quality improvement.
• Exposure to complex coronary interventions, chronic total occlusions (CTO) or peripheral endovascular procedures; academic publications or teaching experience is an advantage.
  

• Competitive consultant compensation with performance incentives and professional development support.
• Modern on‑site cath‑lab infrastructure, multi‑disciplinary cardiac team and opportunities to build service lines locally.
• Clinical autonomy, structured governance and scope for teaching, research and regional outreach programmes.
