Lucknow has an estimated 4.1 million (41 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 13 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.3% a year, it would reach about 4.6 million by 2030, so demand for cardiologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Uttar Pradesh's 1.25 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 5,200 hospital beds in Lucknow, including about 260 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 310 hospitals (about 85 public and 230 private). That is about 800 residents for every bed and around 16 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 7,200 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 5,100 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Lucknow, supported by around 9,200 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 Lucknow.
On health outcomes, Uttar Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), above the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Uttar Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private cardiologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 cardiologist for Lucknow, and 14 other cities in Uttar Pradesh have their own cardiologist page below.

How to choose a cardiologist in Lucknow
- 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 how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- 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 Lucknow: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Lucknow is estimated to have about 5,200 hospital beds across roughly 310 hospitals, including around 260 ICU beds. Uttar Pradesh state averages about 1.3 hospital beds per 1,000 people, close to the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. About 73% of beds in Uttar Pradesh 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 Lucknow include KGMU, SGPGIMS and RMLIMS. 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 Uttar Pradesh: the state infant mortality rate is 35 per 1,000 live births (2024), higher than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 69.6 years, below the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Across all systems of medicine, Lucknow is estimated to have around 5,100 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.

- 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 Lucknow
Who is the best cardiologist in Lucknow?
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, Heart Attack Treatment (Ground Floor, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Hahnemann Chauraha Rd, Viraj Khand - 1, Viraj Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226010) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a cardiologist in Lucknow?
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 Lucknow?
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 Lucknow offer cardiologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Lucknow include KGMU, SGPGIMS and RMLIMS, 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 Lucknow?
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.
What is the difference between a cardiologist and a cardiac surgeon?
A cardiologist treats heart disease with medicines and catheter-based procedures like angioplasty. A cardiac surgeon (MCh CTVS) performs open or minimally invasive surgery such as bypass or valve replacement. They often work together on the same patient.
How many hospital beds does Lucknow have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 5,200 beds (around 260 ICU beds) for Lucknow. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
