    Overview

  • Dr. Madhusudan Pramod Raikar is a senior interventional cardiologist in Hebbal with advanced expertise in complex coronary and structural heart interventions. He is currently practising as a Consultant – Interventional Cardiology at Manipal Hospital Hebbal, Bangalore, bringing over 16 years of overall clinical experience, including 8 years of post-DM expertise in managing a wide spectrum of cardiovascular conditions, with a strong focus on minimally invasive and catheter-based treatments. 

  • Dr. Raikar completed his MBBS followed by MD in General Medicine from Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, and subsequently pursued DM in Cardiology from Government Medical College, Kozhikode. He further strengthened his credentials with DNB in Cardiology and specialised certifications, including FSCAI, along with advanced training in echocardiography, coronary imaging, and intravascular techniques.

  • His clinical expertise centres on interventional cardiology, particularly complex coronary artery disease requiring advanced procedural strategies. Over the years, he has performed more than 5000 coronary angiograms and over 2000 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) as a primary operator. These include complex angioplasties using advanced techniques such as rotational atherectomy, orbital atherectomy, and intravascular lithotripsy. His proficiency in coronary imaging modalities like IVUS and OCT allows for detailed lesion assessment and optimised procedural outcomes. This depth of expertise contributes to his recognition as one of the best cardiologists in Hebbal for advanced coronary interventions.

  • In addition to coronary procedures, Dr. Raikar has extensive experience in structural heart interventions. His work includes transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), alcohol septal ablation, balloon mitral valvuloplasty, and device closures for congenital heart defects such as ASD and PDA. He has also performed interventions in paediatric cardiology settings, including balloon valvotomy procedures in neonates and children.

  • His expertise further extends to cardiac rhythm management and device implantation. He has experience in implanting conventional pacemakers, leadless pacemakers, and cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices (CRT-D), along with exposure to electrophysiological studies and ablation procedures. In addition, he performs peripheral vascular interventions, including renal angiography and angioplasty, addressing vascular conditions beyond the heart. This broad procedural capability strengthens his standing as one of the best cardiologists in Hebbal for patients requiring complex, multi-dimensional cardiac care.

  • Beyond interventional procedures, Dr. Raikar maintains strong proficiency in non-invasive cardiology. He performs and interprets advanced echocardiographic studies, including 2D, 3D, strain imaging, and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), along with stress testing and ambulatory cardiac monitoring. This integration of diagnostic and interventional cardiology allows for continuity of care from initial evaluation to definitive treatment.

  • Dr. Raikar has contributed to academic research and has presented papers and case studies at national forums such as APICON, CSI, and India Live. He has also received academic recognition, including awards at cardiology conferences and selection of his thesis among the top national submissions.

  • He communicates fluently in English, Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Konkani, enabling effective interaction with patients from diverse backgrounds. At Manipal Hospital Hebbal, Dr. Raikar continues to deliver comprehensive cardiac care, combining advanced interventional skills with structured clinical decision-making to improve cardiovascular outcomes.

He has also performed interventions in paediatric cardiology settings, including balloon valvotomy procedures in neonates and children.

  • His expertise further extends to cardiac rhythm management and device implantation. He has experience in implanting conventional pacemakers, leadless pacemakers, and cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices (CRT-D), along with exposure to electrophysiological studies and ablation procedures. In addition, he performs peripheral vascular interventions, including renal angiography and angioplasty, addressing vascular conditions beyond the heart. This broad procedural capability strengthens his standing as one of the best cardiologists in Hebbal for patients requiring complex, multi-dimensional cardiac care.

  • Beyond interventional procedures, Dr. Raikar maintains strong proficiency in non-invasive cardiology. He performs and interprets advanced echocardiographic studies, including 2D, 3D, strain imaging, and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), along with stress testing and ambulatory cardiac monitoring. This integration of diagnostic and interventional cardiology allows for continuity of care from initial evaluation to definitive treatment.

  • Dr. Raikar has contributed to academic research and has presented papers and case studies at national forums such as APICON, CSI, and India Live. He has also received academic recognition, including awards at cardiology conferences and selection of his thesis among the top national submissions.
