Bio

After completing MBBS from the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Dr. Anoop Agrawal moved to the United States for clinical training in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Coronary and adult Structural Heart Interventions. He is American board-certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Interventional Cardiology (triple certification). He is trained in Echocardiography, Cardiac Nuclear Medicine, and Vascular Interpretation and has been certified by respective boards namely The National Board of Echocardiography, Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology, and American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography.

Dr. Anoop Agrawal underwent dedicated training in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR/TAVI) and is the highest volume TAVR operator in Andhra/Telangana region. He is proficient in coronary angioplasty, atherectomy, invasive hemodynamics, IVUS, OCT, Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implantation, MitraClip, device closure of adult structural heart defects, etc.

Dr. Anoop Agrawal has published both in peer-reviewed journals as well as mass media. His authored chapter on Aortic Stenosis and TAVR is widely read across the world. His authored articles can be found in digital editions of The Hindu, Future Medicine India, and Medical Dialogues to name a few.

He relocated back from the USA to India in 2017 and since he has been working as a cardiologist at CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
