Journey of Kauvery Heart Rhythm at Chennai
February 09, 2023 10:02 pm IST – CHENNAI
Happy Doctors Day Dear Colleagues!
I joined my medical studies exactly 22 years ago, on Doctor’s Day, July 1. Exceptional teachers in medicine drove my interest to pursue my postgraduation in internal medicine. While exploring each arena in this field of medicine, I took up cardiology as my specialisation. I started my career as a cardiologist in 2016 after 14 years of medical education. Soon, I realised the need to focus my career on one of the many super-specialities within cardiology. Since my days in internal medicine, ECG (electrocardiogram) has always intrigued me. Diving deeper into this field, I left abroad for higher training and henceforth became a cardiac electrophysiologist. As I practice my expertise in this field, I cannot thank my parents and family enough; their support was crucial to me throughout this journey.
The Inception of Kauvery Heart Rhythm Services at Chennai
It was again on Doctor’s Day – July 1, 2022, that the four cardiac electrophysiologists from Trichy and Chennai came together to launch Kauvery Heart Rhythm Services (KHRS) at Chennai, in the august presence of our Executive Director Dr Aravindan Selvaraj. KHRS had, till then, been active at the Kauvery Heart Institute, Trichy. KHRS was founded with the vision to deliver state-of-the-art heart rhythm services at affordable costs. KHRS was envisaged to spread awareness among the public about heart rhythm problems and the cure for them. Another goal was that of continued development of possible infrastructure to perform the latest procedures available in the field of cardiac electrophysiology (heart rhythm).

Salem , 28th April 2025 : Kauvery Hospitals, one of the leading multi-specialty healthcare hospital chains in Tamil Nadu, successfully administered Radio Frequency Ablation (RFA) treatment for VT-induced Cardiomyopathy for the first time in Salem.
Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is the most common idiopathic ventricular tachycardia of the left ventricle, typically occurring in young patients. It causes rapid increase in heartbeat rate, which if left untreated could prove fatal.
A 29-year-old patient was admitted to Salem Kauvery Hospital with complaints of palpitations and breathlessness. His ECG and echocardiogram results revealed ventricular tachycardia (VT), although not in a serious condition. His heart rate was irregular, and he experienced frequent palpitations, for which he was treated with medication.
