5 Warning Signs of Coronary Artery Disease You Shouldn't Ignore
Chest discomfort isn't always dramatic — here's what subtle warning signs look like in practice.
Dr. Suvendu Chattopadhyay is an Interventional Cardiologist and Pulmonologist trained at IPGMER–SSKM Hospital, offering angioplasty, rhythm-device implantation and comprehensive cardio-pulmonary care across Kolkata's leading hospitals and his own clinic in Serampore, Hooghly.
Dr. Suvendu Chattopadhyay completed his MBBS from West Bengal University of Health Sciences in 2012, a DNB in Respiratory Medicine in 2017, and his DM in Cardiology from WBUHS in 2020. He served as Senior Resident in the Department of Cardiology at IPGMER & SSKM Hospital, one of Eastern India's busiest tertiary-care centres, before going on to consult at Charnock Hospital and AMRI Hospitals, Salt Lake. His dual training in cardiology and pulmonary medicine allows him to evaluate chest pain, breathlessness, palpitations and syncope with a wider clinical lens than a single-specialty approach allows.
Every consultation combines interventional cardiology precision with pulmonology insight — because breathlessness isn't always the heart, and chest pain isn't always the lungs.
Trained in both cardiology and respiratory medicine for a fuller clinical picture.
