Team: Expert Advisory Team

Dr. Anthony N. Hage, MD

Advisory Role

Dr. Anthony N. Hage MD is a highly experienced expert in the field of vascular and interventional radiology. Interventional radiologists use x-rays, CT, MRI or other imaging guidance to navigate small instruments, like catheters and needles, through blood vessels and organs to treat a variety of diseases including vascular disease. Vascular diseases affect blood vessels and it has been identified as the cause of up to 50 – 70% of men that suffer from erectile dysfunction symptoms. Dr. Anthony Hage is a very valued member of our advisory team and assists in the following capacity;

  • Assisting our doctors to create care plans for patients with vascular disease
  • Researching the latest advances and treatment methods for erectile dysfunction patients.
  • Creating educational and informational material on the importance of vascular health.
  • Answering general questions about the effect of neurosurgery on sexual health.

Dr. Narendra Kumar, MD, ECES

Summary

  • First in the world to pass level 1 & 2 in the European Board Certification in Cardiac Electrophysiology
  • Highly acclaimed cardiologist with a PhD in cardiology and memberships with the UK, European and American cardiology societies.
  • Winner of the NRI of the year award for the UK and Europe region for Academics
  • Board Certified Cardiac electrophysiologist (ECES)

Overview

Dr Narendra Kumar is European Board Certified Cardiac electrophysiologist (ECES) with his doctorate thesis in cardiology on Atrial fibrillation ablation from Maastricht University Medical Centre, Netherlands (ranked among top 50 clinical university of world).

He is also a program chair for an International cardiology program. His primary interest lies in atrial fibrillation, arrhythmia management, Heart failure and cardiovascular economics.

He has extensive experience with >2500 ablation procedures and devices implantation (CRT, AICD, Wireless & His bundle pacemaker and Complex pacemakers) with >60 publications (and >350 citations) in reputed journals including JACC and Heart rhythm journal. He has >12 years of experience in Cardiology. He was trained earlier at some of the best hospitals across USA, UK, Germany and Netherlands.

Clinical approach

When Dr Narendra Kumar was 8 years old his father had to undergo bypass surgery. As he grew up he realised many of his loved friends and family members suffered from cardiac problems many of which were preventable and treatable.
