Dr. Anand Kumar Gowdhaman

Pediatric Cardiologist

Dr. Anand Kumar Gowdhaman is a specialised Pediatric Cardiologist at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, holding DrNB (Paediatric Cardiology), the Doctorate of National Board in Paediatric Cardiology, the highest NBE qualification in the subspecialty. Combined with his DNB (Paediatrics), Dr. Anand brings a strong academic and clinical foundation in both general paediatric medicine and advanced paediatric cardiac care.

A defining aspect of Dr. Anand’s practice is his expertise in transcatheter interventional cardiology, the ability to treat structural heart defects such as ASD, VSD, and PDA using catheter-based device closure techniques, without open-heart surgery. This minimally invasive approach means eligible children can have their heart defects corrected through a small puncture in the groin, avoiding the trauma, scarring, and lengthy recovery associated with conventional cardiac surgery. His additional expertise in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) and cardiac arrhythmias further rounds out his practice as a comprehensive interventional and clinical paediatric cardiologist.

Available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Dr. Anand Kumar Gowdhaman’s evening slots are conveniently accessible for working parents and school-going children across Chennai. Families seeking expert evaluation for a heart murmur, a known congenital defect, palpitations, or breathlessness in their child will find in Dr. Anand a skilled, approachable specialist delivering internationally informed cardiac care.
