Dr. Sarath Babu

Dr. Sarath Babu is a Specialist Cardiologist at Lifecare Hospital in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi. He brings 12 years of clinical experience in interventional and invasive cardiology, with a strong track record of managing complex coronary conditions. He trained at leading institutions in India, completing his MBBS at JIPMER Pondicherry, an MD in Internal Medicine at PGIMER Chandigarh, and a DM in Cardiology plus invasive cardiology residency at SVIMS University. He worked as an Assistant Professor of Cardiology and later as an Interventional Cardiologist in several high-volume cardiac catheterization centers in Hyderabad before joining Lifecare Hospital.

Dr. Babu specializes in coronary interventions—the catheter-based techniques used to open blocked arteries—and has performed over 3,000 such procedures. His expertise spans complex cases including chronic total occlusions (completely blocked arteries), bifurcation stenting (treating blockages at artery branches), left main coronary stenting, valvuloplasty (balloon widening of narrow heart valves), and structural heart procedures like percutaneous device closure. He is also skilled in transradial coronary angiography (accessing arteries through the wrist rather than the groin), rotational atherectomy (using a high-speed rotating burr to break up calcified blockages), vein graft interventions after bypass surgery, and peripheral vascular interventions.

Dr. Babu is a Fellow of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (USA) and the European Society of Cardiology, and a Life Member of the Cardiology Society of India. He is fluent in English, Malayalam, and Hindi. He is a good fit for patients needing minimally invasive treatment of coronary artery disease, blocked heart valves, or complex structural heart conditions.
