Cardiology
Nandish K. Thukral, MD is Board Certified in Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology, and he practices primarily at Cardiology Clinic of San Antonio’s Medical location. He is a member of a number of professional organizations including American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association and American Medical Association.
Dr. Thukral received a Bachelor of Science degree from Houston Baptist University in Houston, Texas before completing his medical degree at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio School of Medicine in San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Thukral completed his residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, and his fellowships in Cardiology and interventional cardiology at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Dr. Thukral quickly made a name for himself as an interventionalist who is passionate about the most cutting-edge, life-saving technologies. He is well-known for his expertise with the Impella 2.5 Heart Pump which allows a failing heart time to recover after a heart attack without the need for open heart surgery. He was also the principal investigator in a national regenerative medicine clinical trial, the PreSERVE-AMI Study, in which a patient's own stem cells were being used to regenerate damaged heart muscle. “By using the patient's own stem cells, we may be able to restore muscle in patients that previously was considered irreversibly injured,” says Dr. Thukral.
He also offers the CardioMEMS HF system which features a miniaturized, wireless pressure monitor implanted in the pulmonary artery using a minimally-invasive catheter-based procedure. The CardioMEMS HF System helps certain patients with heart failure by reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life.
Dr. Thukral also performs transradial catheterizations. In the transradial, or wrist, approach, blockages in coronary arteries can be examined and treated through the radial artery in the wrist instead of the femoral artery in the groin. Transradial caths offer greater patient comfort (patients can get up shortly after the procedure) and safety (risks of bleeding and other vascular complications are reduced).
Cardiology is a specialty of medicine which deals with problems of heart, arteries and veins. Doctors specializing in Cardiology are called Cardiologists and they treat conditions like heart attack, leaky or narrow valves, heart failure and more.
Interventional Cardiologists are those who specializes in treatment of coronary artery disease or structural heart disease with catheter based technology. They perform procedures like stents, balloon angioplasty to open up blockages for heart attack and chest pain.
