For more than 53 years, Dr. Upendra Kaul has been treating heart patients in Delhi. He’s built his career around interventional cardiology, structural heart procedures, and cardiac imaging, and in that time he’s handled everything from routine check-ups to complicated, high-risk cases that needed immediate intervention.
Dr. Upendra Kaul is Director at Fortis Flt. Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital in Vasant Kunj, and he also sees patients at Batra Hospital, New Delhi. He’s written or co-authored over 450 medical papers during his career — not a small number by any standard — and back in 1999 he was given the Dr. B.C. Roy Award, one of the top honours a doctor can receive in India, for his work in developing the specialty.
Education
Dr. Upendra Kaul studied at Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, where he did his MBBS, then went on to complete his MD in 1975 and his DM in Cardiology in 1978. That training, paired with decades of actual practice afterward, is what makes him someone patients turn to for tough coronary and valve cases. He’s registered with the Delhi Medical Council under number 7603, listed since 2000.
Areas of Specialization
Here’s what Dr. Upendra Kaul mainly focuses on:
- Coronary angiography and cardiac imaging
- Heart bypass surgery, including robotic bypass procedures
- Valve repair and replacement
- Treating ventricular septal defects and other structural heart problems
If you want to see him in person, Batra Hospital has him available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 11 AM to 2 PM. Whether it’s ongoing heart disease, an arrhythmia issue, or just wanting a second opinion before a major procedure, Dr. Upendra Kaul is someone patients across India — and quite a few from outside the country too — have come to rely on over the years.
