DrNB Cardiology | Fellowship — Fuwai Hospital, Beijing | FHRS
Subspecialty-trained cardiac electrophysiologist with expertise in complex arrhythmia ablation, conduction system pacing, and device therapy. Practising at Holy Family Hospital, Mumbai & Mangalore Heartscan Foundation, Mangalore.
Dr. Yajnik Mukund Kumble is a consultant cardiac electrophysiologist practising at Holy Family Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai, and Mangalore Heartscan Foundation, Mangalore. He completed his DrNB Cardiology at Holy Family Hospital, followed by fellowship training in cardiac electrophysiology, and subsequently an advanced fellowship in EP at the prestigious Fuwai Hospital in Beijing — one of Asia's foremost cardiovascular centres.
His clinical interests span the full spectrum of cardiac arrhythmia management: complex radiofrequency catheter ablation, permanent pacemaker implantation, ICD therapy, cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), conduction system pacing, and management of channelopathies and sudden cardiac death.
Dr. Kumble has a strong academic track record with peer-reviewed publications in PACE-Wiley and the Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, and presentations at major international conferences including APHRS, IHRSCON, and Summa.

High-fidelity radiofrequency ablation for complex arrhythmia substrates using 3D electroanatomic mapping (CARTO/EnSite). Includes irrigated-tip catheters, contact force guidance, and power-controlled lesion delivery for durable transmural lesion sets.
Ablation of AVNRT (typical and atypical), AVRT, accessory pathways, outflow tract VT, idiopathic VT, and substrate-based scar-related VT in ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
Pulmonary vein isolation and beyond — posterior wall isolation, CFAE ablation, and ablation of persistent and long-standing persistent AF using point-by-point RF and cryoballoon strategies.
Single- and dual-chamber pacemaker implantation for sinus node dysfunction, high-degree AV block, and chronotropic incompetence. Includes device programming optimisation and long-term follow-up surveillance.
Primary and secondary prevention ICD implantation — single-coil, dual-coil, and subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD). Specialised in VT zone programming, ATP optimisation, and reduction of inappropriate shocks.
CRT-P and CRT-D implantation for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and LBBB. Expertise in complex coronary sinus lead positioning and AV/VV delay programming.
His-bundle pacing and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) as physiological alternatives to conventional RV pacing — offering superior haemodynamic outcomes.
Risk stratification and management of Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, CPVT, and Ebstein anomaly-related arrhythmias including complex accessory pathway anatomy.
Advanced electroanatomic mapping for substrate characterisation, scar delineation, and tachycardia circuit identification — enabling precise, anatomy-guided ablation.
