Dr. K Jayanthi

My 92-year-old grandmother, a former classical singer, was deemed too high-risk for valve replacement elsewhere. Dr. Jayanthi performed a minimally invasive TAVI procedure that restored her cardiac function so completely she was able to sing at her great-granddaughter's wedding three months later.

When our 14-year-old daughter collapsed during basketball practice with an undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Dr. Jayanthi's emergency team at SIMS Hospital implemented a revolutionary cooling protocol that prevented neurological damage before implanting a subcutaneous ICD - she now coaches younger athletes about heart health.

As a deep-sea saturation diver with work-induced pulmonary hypertension, Dr. Jayanthi created a personalized treatment plan combining targeted medication and hyperbaric oxygen therapy that allowed me to return to my specialized profession when five other cardiologists had recommended early retirement.

Our family's rare genetic cardiac amyloidosis was misdiagnosed for generations until Dr. Jayanthi recognized the pattern, coordinated genetic testing for 12 relatives, and established a surveillance protocol that caught my brother's pre-symptomatic condition early enough for groundbreaking RNA-interference therapy.

As a 28-year-old marathon runner with sudden arrhythmia during a race, Dr. Jayanthi's swift diagnosis of congenital electrical pathway abnormality and subsequent radiofrequency ablation not only saved my athletic career but allowed me to complete the Berlin Marathon six months later with perfect cardiac rhythm.
