Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. An invasive cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in using diagnostic and therapeutic tools that are inserted directly into the patient’s body to treat heart disease. These tools can include balloons, catheters, and stents. Dr. Sengupta is one of the very few cardiologists who performs this procedure via the arm which helps is early discharge and recovery.
A renowned scholar, Dr. Sengupta has been well published in several top journals, including Journal of the American College of Cardiology, The American Journal of Cardiology, Journal of American Society of Echocardiography, The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, European Heart Journal, and CHEST Journal, to name a few.
