He is known as the Best Pediatric Cardiologist in New Delhi, India. He has done more than 4,500 heart procedures in the cath lab. He treats patients of all ages. He treats newborn babies, young children, teenagers, and adults.

One of his greatest achievements was treating a tiny, premature baby. This baby weighed only 1.5 kilograms. The baby had a very complex heart defect. Dr. Azad successfully treated this tiny baby in the cath lab. This shows his amazing skill and steady hands. He always uses the latest and safest methods to treat his patients.

Education and Special Training

To become a great heart doctor, you need years of hard study. Dr. Sushil Azad has trained at some of the best medical colleges in India.

He started his medical journey by earning his MBBS degree. He studied at the famous Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS in Rohtak, Haryana. After that, he wanted to focus on helping children. So, he completed his MD in Pediatrics from Pt. J.L. Nehru Medical College in Raipur.

He wanted to learn everything about children's hearts. He did a special Fellowship in Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care at the Madras Medical Mission Hospital in Chennai. Here, he learned how to take care of very sick children after heart surgery.

Next, he completed the prestigious Fellowship National Board (FNB) in Pediatric Cardiology. He did this at the Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre in New Delhi. This rich education gave him the skills to fix the most difficult heart problems.

Building Top Heart Care Programs

Dr. Sushil Azad is not just a great doctor. He is also a great leader. He has helped build some of the best heart care centers in India.

He played a major role in starting the Pediatric Cardiology Program at Medanta in Gurgaon. He also started a special teaching program there. This program is called the DNB Pediatric Cardiology program. Through this, he trained many new doctors to treat children's hearts.

Later, he worked at the Fortis Escorts Heart Institute. Here, he started a highly advanced program called Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation. He made Fortis Escorts a Center of Excellence for this treatment. It was the only center doing this special procedure at the time.

What is Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation?

In the past, if a child needed a new heart valve, doctors had to do open-heart surgery. Open-heart surgery means making a large cut on the chest. It takes a long time to heal.

Dr. Sushil Azad changed this. He is an expert in Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation. This is a modern, non-surgical method. He places a new heart valve through a small tube in the leg. The tube travels up to the heart. The new valve is placed safely without opening the chest.

This means the patient feels less pain. There is no big scar. The patient can go home much faster.

Care for Congenital Heart Disease

"Congenital" means a problem that is present from birth. Some babies are born with holes in their heart. Sometimes, the blood tubes are connected in the wrong way.

Dr. Azad treats these problems in patients of all ages. He is a famous Adult Congenital Heart Disease Specialist. Thanks to modern medicine, babies born with heart problems now grow into adults. These adults still need special heart care. Normal adult heart doctors may not understand these childhood birth defects. Dr. Azad is specially trained to care for these adult patients. He makes sure their hearts stay strong for their whole life.

Fetal Echocardiography: Care Before Birth

Dr. Azad can check a baby's heart even before the baby is born. This is called Fetal Echocardiography.

It is a safe ultrasound test done on the pregnant mother. Dr. Azad looks at the unborn baby's heart to find any defects. If he finds a problem early, he can plan the baby's birth carefully. The medical team will be ready to help the baby the exact minute they are born. This early planning saves many babies' lives.

Fixing Holes in the Heart Without Surgery

Dr. Sushil Azad is a highly skilled Pediatric Interventional Cardiologist. This means he uses a "cath lab" to fix heart problems without open surgery.

He offers device closure treatments. Some babies have holes in the heart walls. These are called ASD, VSD, or PDA. Dr. Azad uses a long, thin tube called a catheter. He puts a tiny device or "plug" through the tube to close the hole. This fixes the heart completely without any big cuts.

He also performs Balloon Valvuloplasty. Sometimes, a heart valve is too tight. Blood cannot flow easily. Dr. Azad uses a tiny balloon to stretch and open the tight valve.

Arrhythmia Treatment (Fixing Heartbeats)

A normal heart beats with a steady rhythm. Sometimes, a child's heart beats too fast, too slow, or skips beats. This is called an arrhythmia.

Dr. Azad treats these rhythm problems. He performs Electrophysiological Studies (EPS) to find out why the heart is beating wrong. He also uses Radiofrequency Ablation to fix the wrong electrical signals in the heart.

If the heart beats too slow, he places a Permanent Pacemaker (PPI). A pacemaker is a small machine that helps the heart beat at the right speed.

Care for Complex Surgeries and Intensive Care

Some heart problems are very big. They need complex open-heart surgery. Dr. Azad works closely with top heart surgeons to plan these surgeries.

He manages patients who need:

• Arterial Switch Surgery
• TAPVC Repair
• Single Ventricle Defect Surgery
• Ross Procedure
• Neonatal Cardiac Surgeries

After surgery, the child needs extreme care. Dr. Azad is an expert in Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care. He knows how to use ECMO support. ECMO is a special life-support machine. It works for the heart and lungs when they are too weak to work on their own. He uses ECMO to keep children alive while their heart heals.

Research, Teaching, and Medical Writing

Dr. Sushil Azad loves to learn and share his knowledge. He is a respected teacher in the medical world.

He has written more than 25 research papers. These papers are published in top medical journals. He has also written chapters for medical textbooks. These books teach other doctors about pediatric cardiology and echocardiography.

He frequently speaks at big medical meetings. He organizes workshops to teach other doctors how to use ultrasound to look at children's hearts. He often speaks to the news and media to explain heart diseases in simple words so parents can understand.
