The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) is an international non-profit organization that promotes education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients. The Society was founded in 1979 and counted 5,100 members from over 70 countries as of January 2009.

Dr. Narendra Kumar is a European board Certified Electrophysiology Specialist (ECES) physician with more than 11 years of cardiology experience. He is the first physician of Indian origin to have passed European board examination. He obtained his doctorate on ‘Atrial Fibrillation Ablation’ from Maastricht University, amongst the world’s top ranked hospitals and has authored more than 50 publications (in JACC, Heart Rhythm, CHEST and reviewer for major journals as The Lancet, Circulation, JICE, Heart, etc).

Being trained at Harvard Medical School for advance medical techniques, his wider experience helps to provide better and well balanced cardiac EP solutions.

According to Dr Narendra Kumar, “Cardiac Electrophysiology is still a field that is in its nascent phase in India. Electrophysiology studies (EPS) are tests that help doctors understand the nature of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). These results can help you and your doctor decide whether you need medicine, a pacemaker, an implantable defibrillator (ICD), cardiac ablation or surgery, ensuring that the patient gets the best treatment plan and recommendation.”

Dr Narendra post his training at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) would be introducing  Cryoballoon and 3D Heart Mapping Technology at Paras Hospitals, Gurgaon and Paras HMRI Hospital Patna.
