One of India’s top paediatric cardiac surgeons, Dr. Krishna Iyer is well known for his extensive involvement in the heart care of children from India and other poor nations who seek his advice. The first specialised child cardiac care programme in Northern India was started by Dr. Iyer, the Best Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon in India, in 1995 at the Escorts Heart Institute Research Centre (now Fortis-Escorts Heart Institute). His leadership has led to a paediatric cardiac programme being the norm for paediatric cardiac treatment in India and its neighbours in SouthEast Asia. Dr Iyer started the first dedicated paediatric cardiac program in Northern India at FEHI in 1995. In 40 years of his career, Dr Iyer has completed 10,000 surgeries for congenital heart disease at FEHI since 1995. He has also performed the country’s first successful rapid two-stage arterial switch operation (1991) and the first successful double switch operation (1993).Furthermore, Dr Iyer was the first to generate internationally comparable outcomes in neonatal and infant cardiac surgery and surgery for complex congenital heart disease.
