Guest sessions for cardiology residents at a teaching hospital, focused on the doctor-patient conversation in cardiac decisions.
Trained in clinical medicine and interventional cardiology over 14 years, Dr. Aryan Mehta runs a focused practice in Mumbai. His patient list is intentionally small, he believes a heart consultation is mostly listening, then explaining, then deciding together.
His clinical interests are preventive cardiology, second opinions on procedure recommendations, and structured care for patients above 60.
Dr. Aryan Mehta
A patient interaction designed for understanding, not throughput.
Vitals are taken without rush. ECG is recorded if needed.
Reports are reviewed page by page. Questions are welcomed.
You leave with a written plan, not just a prescription.
Follow-up questions go to a dedicated number, answered within working hours.
If a test is not necessary, you will not be asked to do it.
Cardiac decisions affect a family. A relative can sit through the consult.
The practice runs a deliberately small daily roster so every consult gets the time it needs.
A small but steady commitment to the wider cardiology community.
Guest sessions for cardiology residents at a teaching hospital, focused on the doctor-patient conversation in cardiac decisions.
Quarterly free public talks on hypertension, cholesterol and heart-healthy Indian eating, hosted at community centres.
Two annual heart-screening camps in low-income neighbourhoods. Basic ECG, BP and lifestyle counselling at no cost.
Active participation at the annual Cardiological Society of India conference and select international meetings.
Hosts a monthly journal club with three other cardiologists to keep clinical practice aligned with current evidence.
Mentors two early-career cardiologists informally, with a focus on private-practice ethics and patient communication.
The clinic opens at 09:30. The first 30 minutes go to reading reports of the day's first three patients. By 10:00 the front desk has welcomed everyone in.
The first consult is usually a returning patient. The second is a new second-opinion case, often with a stack of reports from another hospital. The third is a senior patient, where a relative does most of the talking.
By noon, two ECGs and one 2D echo have been done in the clinic. Reports are written up between consults so nothing leaves unfinished.
The morning closes with a short call to a patient discharged the previous week, just to check in. The afternoon shift begins at 16:00 with follow-ups.
