My Profile

Short Description

Dr. Shastry completed his MBBS in 2002 and then after working as a general physician left for USA to complete his medical training.

About me

Dr. N.R. Shastry is a Preventive and Non-Invasive Cardiology specialist with 22+ years of clinical experience. His practice focuses on early detection of heart disease, structured risk reduction, and advanced non-invasive cardiac diagnostics—helping patients prevent major cardiac events and improve long-term outcomes.

He has trained in clinical cardiology, geriatric care, and emergency-oriented decision-making, and is known for a patient-first approach that prioritizes evidence-based testing, clear explanations, and personalised prevention plans. His clinical work includes detailed assessment of symptoms such as chest discomfort, palpitations, breathlessness, dizziness, fatigue, and blood-pressure variability—supported by modern, non-invasive investigations.

What He Believes In

Prevention first: controlling risk factors early prevents heart attacks and strokes later.
Right test, right time: investigations are selected to answer specific clinical questions.
Clarity and trust: patients should understand their condition and options clearly.
Long-term care: sustained follow-up helps maintain stable heart health.

Mujhe baar-baar chakkar aate the aur dil ki dhadkan slow thi. Dr. Shastry ne pacemaker lagaya. Surgery safe thi aur discharge ke baad chakkar band ho gaye. Ab main apni routine normal kar raha hoon.”

Rating by Seema Raghavan

Mujhe saans lene mein problem thi. Dr. N. R. Shastry ne tests karke valve replacement suggest kiya. Surgery smooth thi aur discharge hone ke baad main easily chal pa rahi hoon. Doctor ne har baat clearly samjhayi.

Rating by Leena D’Souza

I was breathless even after a few steps. Dr. Shastry explained heart failure in simple words and gave the right medicines. After discharge, swelling reduced and I feel active again. I am grateful for his kind care.

Rating by Kiran Paul

I had blockages in my heart and was very worried. Dr. Shastry guided me for bypass surgery and supported me during recovery. After discharge, I feel stronger and can do my routine without fear.

Rating by Harish Nair

I was admitted with severe chest pain. Dr. N. R. Shastry explained clearly and did angioplasty with a stent. After discharge, I feel normal and walk daily without chest pain. His quick action saved me.”
