The most crucial factors that matter in obtaining the best heart specialist is credibility and experience. Capsuleinfo has listed some well-respected cardiologists in Hyderabad, but one name consistently comes up is Dr. Shiva Prasad Koyalakonda. Dr. Koyalakonda has practiced medicine for over two decades, which includes 15 years of advanced training in the UK, where he gained internationally recognized experience in cardiology. He is now bringing his international expertise back to India through Capsuleinfo, to make quality cardiac care more accessible to patients in India.

In addition, he is an Advanced Life Support (ALS) Instructor with the Resuscitation Council (UK), which allows him to teach and mentor other healthcare professionals in advanced life support.
Experience in the UK and India
Dr. Koyalakonda's professional journey began in the UK which is where he trained in some of the busiest cardiac hospitals in the country. He held several important positions, including:
- Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, North Wales Cardiac Centre, UK (2015–2017)

Specialization
Dr. Koyalakonda is an interventional cardiologist whose expertise lies in:
- Coronary angioplasty (elective and emergencies)
- Primary angioplasty for myocardial infarctions (heart attacks)
- Coronary artery left main stem angioplasty
- Bifurcation and calcified lesions
- Chronic total occlusions
- Radial and femoral techniques for coronary procedures
- Intravascular imaging, utilizing both IVUS and OCT
As he often states, in medical forums and elsewhere, "Complex angioplasty is not how well you can cross the lesion; it is often more about treating the heart in a way that is best for the patient and individualizing the treatment."

What patients appreciate most, however, is his ability to communicate clearly. Instead of overwhelming people with medical terminology, he breaks down medical conditions and treatment processes into real-life examples that leave patients feeling both informed and confident.

In addition to clinical, Dr. Koyalakonda has worked in medical education outside of clinical practice. He has worked as an ALS course instructor.
