Dr Vamsi Merugumala: Interventional Cardiologist & Electrophysiologist
Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Vamsi Merugumala specializes in cardiac electrophysiology and pacing, focusing on managing complex cardiac arrhythmias and performing advanced electrophysiological procedures. He also has extensive experience in coronary interventions, valvular heart disease management, and minor cardiac procedures.
Dr. Merugumala treats a range of cardiac arrhythmias including AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, and atrial tachycardia using techniques such as radiofrequency ablation and 3D mapping systems.
Dr. Merugumala performs procedures including pacemaker and ICD implantation, coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary interventions (PTCA), balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV), transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and device closures for ASD and VSD. He is also skilled in minor cardiac procedures like IABP insertion and pericardial effusion drainage.
Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure used to destroy abnormal heart tissue causing arrhythmias. Dr. Merugumala uses this technique to treat various arrhythmias such as atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, utilizing advanced 3D mapping systems to ensure precision.
Dr. Merugumala has performed over 5000 diagnostic coronary angiographies and more than 1000 percutaneous coronary interventions (PTCA) as a primary operator. He is experienced in handling complex cases, including bifurcation and chronic total occlusion (CTO) interventions.
