Cardiologists in Ahmedabad at a glance
Quick facts about Ahmedabad and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

With around 9.1 million (91 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate), Ahmedabad is number 7 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Metro (5M+) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 10.2 million by 2030, so demand for cardiologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Gujarat's 0.95 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 8,600 hospital beds in Ahmedabad, including about 430 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 190 hospitals (about 58 public and 130 private). That is about 1053 residents for every bed and around 46 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 19,000 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 11,000 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Ahmedabad, supported by around 20,000 nurses and midwives. A cardiologist is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many cardiologists practise in Ahmedabad.
On health outcomes, Gujarat's infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.7 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 69% of hospital beds in Gujarat are private, so most people weigh private cardiologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 cardiologist for Ahmedabad, and 5 other cities in Gujarat have their own cardiologist page below.

Emergency: Sudden chest pain spreading to the arm or jaw, sweating or collapse may be a heart attack: call 108 immediately and do not drive yourself. India's free ambulance number is 108.
How to choose a cardiologist in Ahmedabad
- Check the qualification: MBBS, MD (Medicine) and DM or DNB (Cardiology).
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology) and note the registration number.
- Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
- Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
A cardiologist (physician) is different from a cardiac surgeon (MCh CTVS). Surgeons operate on the heart; cardiologists diagnose, treat with medicines and perform procedures such as angioplasty.
Healthcare in Ahmedabad: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Ahmedabad is estimated to have about 8,600 hospital beds across roughly 190 hospitals, including around 430 ICU beds. Gujarat state averages about 1.0 hospital beds per 1,000 people, below the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. About 69% of beds in Gujarat are in the private sector, so many patients choose between private clinics and government hospitals depending on cost and the kind of care needed.
Major hospitals and teaching institutions often associated with Ahmedabad include Civil Hospital / BJ Medical College and Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute. Availability of Cardiologist services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting. (This list is general knowledge, not a complete or verified directory, and includes both public and private institutions.)
For context on health outcomes in Gujarat: the state infant mortality rate is 19 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.7 years, near the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Ahmedabad is estimated to have around 11,000 practising doctors at the national ratio of one per 811 people. Specialist numbers are not published by city, so a cardiologist's qualification and registration are the best things to verify.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Bring earlier ECGs, echo and angiography reports
- Note when the discomfort occurs and how long it lasts
- Wear comfortable clothes if a treadmill test is planned
Frequently asked questions: Cardiologists in Ahmedabad
Who is the best cardiologist in Ahmedabad?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three cardiologists, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register (look for a DM or DNB in Cardiology), and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Apex Heart Institute (Mondeal Business Park, Block: G-L, Sarkhej - Gandhinagar Hwy, near Gurudwara, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380059) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a cardiologist in Ahmedabad?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a cardiologist consultation cost in Ahmedabad?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Ahmedabad offer cardiologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Ahmedabad include Civil Hospital / BJ Medical College and Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for cardiologist services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
When should I see a cardiologist rather than a general physician in Ahmedabad?
See a cardiologist for chest discomfort on exertion, palpitations, unexplained breathlessness, fainting, or if you have had a heart attack or stent. A general physician can do the first check and refer you, but a cardiologist can interpret echo, TMT and angiography results.
Which heart tests are usually done first?
An ECG is quick and widely available. Based on your history the cardiologist may add an echocardiogram to look at heart function, a treadmill test to see how the heart behaves under stress, and blood tests such as a lipid profile. Angiography is reserved for cases where blockages are suspected.
Can I get a heart check-up in Ahmedabad without symptoms?
Yes. Preventive check-ups usually include blood pressure, ECG, lipid profile and sugar tests, and are worth considering after 40, or earlier with diabetes, smoking, obesity or a family history of heart disease.
How many hospital beds does Ahmedabad have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 8,600 beds (around 430 ICU beds) for Ahmedabad. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
