Vijayawada has an estimated 2.4 million (24 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 30 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Large (2-5M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.6% a year, it would reach about 2.7 million by 2030, so demand for cardiologists and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Andhra Pradesh's 1.49 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 3,500 hospital beds in Vijayawada, including about 180 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 39 hospitals (about 11 public and 28 private). That is about 671 residents for every bed and around 90 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 3,500 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 2,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Vijayawada, supported by around 5,200 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 Vijayawada.
On health outcomes, Andhra Pradesh's infant mortality rate is 18 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.5 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 72% of hospital beds in Andhra Pradesh are private, so most people weigh private cardiologists against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 cardiologist for Vijayawada, and 4 other cities in Andhra Pradesh have their own cardiologist page below.

How to choose a cardiologist in Vijayawada
- 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 Vijayawada: the bigger picture
No public source counts hospitals city by city, so these figures are estimates: roughly 3,500 beds and 39 hospitals for Vijayawada.

Well-known hospitals and institutions commonly named for Vijayawada include Govt General Hospital and AIIMS Mangalagiri (nearby, Guntur district).

- Wear comfortable clothes if a treadmill test is planned
Frequently asked questions: Cardiologists in Vijayawada
How do I find the best cardiologist in Vijayawada?
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, Peddeswar Health Care Center (29-12-21, Dornakal Road, Venkataratnam St, Suryaraopeta, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh 520002) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a cardiologist in Vijayawada?
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 Vijayawada?
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 Vijayawada offer cardiologist services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Vijayawada include Govt General Hospital and AIIMS Mangalagiri (nearby, Guntur district), 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.
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.
Can I get a heart check-up in Vijayawada 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 Vijayawada have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 3,500 beds (around 180 ICU beds) for Vijayawada. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
