Dr. Anand Shukla

Introduction

Dr. Anand Shukla, a Senior Interventional Cardiologist at HCG Hospital, Ahmedabad, is distinguished in performing complex coronary interventions and holds expertise in coronary imaging and physiology assessment. With qualifications including MBBS, M.D. (Internal Medicine), D.M. (Cardiology), and MMC, he has contributed extensively to cardiology research with numerous publications to his name.

Area of Expertise

• Proficient in complex coronary interventions including CTO (Chronic Total Occlusion), bifurcation, and treating calcified lesions using techniques such as Rotablation and IVL (Intravascular Lithotripsy).

• Skilled in coronary imaging modalities: IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound) and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography).

• Well-versed in coronary physiology assessment, specifically FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve).

• Conducts approximately 400 to 450 coronary interventions annually.

Medical Breakthrough

• Dr. Anand Shukla has significantly contributed to medical breakthroughs in cardiology, notably through his research on the “Prevention of Atherosclerosis Progression using Atorvastatin” and the “Diagnostic Accuracy of Serum Cystatin C for Early Recognition of Contrast-induced Nephropathy.” Furthermore, his expertise in coronary interventions and innovations in echocardiographic techniques have paved new paths in cardiac care.

Awards Accolades

• Awarded the Dr. Sarle Award at the 56th Annual National Conference of the Cardiological Society of India, Bangalore in 2004 for the paper titled “A Prospective Study on the Prevention of Atherosclerosis Progression in Normolipidemic Patients Using Statin.”
• Secured the best paper accolade at a state-level conference in Vadodara, Gujarat, in 2000 for research on “Clinical Utility of Dobutamine Stress-EchoCardiography.”
• Co-authored a paper which was recognised with the CSI Travel Award at the 54th National Cardiological Society of India Conference in Kochi in 2002. The paper focused on the “Determinants of Left Atrial Pressures in Mitral Stenosis: Role of LA Stiffness.”
