Dr. Samir Bahl — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Samir Bahl is Senior Consultant in Non-Invasive Cardiology at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, in the Delhi NCR, with more than 21 years of experience.

His profile places him squarely on the non-invasive side of the specialty, and that has been consistent throughout his career. His list covers echocardiography, coronary angiography and diagnostic cardiac catheterization on the diagnostic side, and the management of coronary artery disease, valvular and rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation and heart failure on the medical side.

Both of his Indian degrees were taken at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi: the MBBS and the MD in medicine. His cardiology fellowship was taken abroad, at the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève in Geneva.

His posts have all carried the same non-interventional designation. He was Senior Consultant in non-interventional cardiology at Max Hospital in Shalimar Bagh and at the Alchemist Institute of Medical Sciences, and Consultant in non-interventional cardiology at Fortis Escorts Hospital in Faridabad, before his current role.

His memberships confirm where the centre of that practice lies. He belongs to the Indian Academy of Echocardiography and to the American Society of Echocardiography, two bodies devoted to cardiac imaging, alongside the Association of Physicians of India.

The record therefore describes a cardiologist who has deliberately built a career in imaging and medical management rather than in the cath lab, with training at AIIMS and in Geneva behind it.
