Dr Vivek Gupta graduated from one of the top medical schools in India in 2004 and moved to Australia where he completed a Masters of Public Health at Deakin University in 2007. Having completed his basic physician training at the Austin Hospital by 2013 he spent the next three years gaining well-rounded experience doing Advanced Training in Cardiology at Launceston.
Acquiring an excellent skills set, Vivek recently concluded his two-year Interventional fellowship at one of the most reputed interventional training programs in Australia - Monash Heart, Monash Medical Centre, Melbourne.
Vivek's creative approach and versatile skill set make him a proficient operator in the cath lab. His compassionate and gentle approach in the management of patients with a wide array of medical problems, has been warmly received by those under his care. He is thorough and considerate in his assessment of cardiac issues such as chest pain, dyspnea, dizzy spells, syncope, palpitations and rhythm abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation. He is equally competent and capable in the management of complex cardiac illness. He investigates his patients with treadmill stress tests, stress echocardiogram, echocardiogram, multi slice cardiac CT, holter monitoring and long-term loop recorders.
Vivek's interventional training has equipped him with skills that include diagnostic coronary angiography (predominantly performed radially), hemodynamic and anatomical assessment of questionable coronary lesions using fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), rotational artherectomy and debulking of heavily calcified lesions.
