About
Dr. Naveen Sooknanan is a pioneering interventional cardiologist whose research focuses on robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI), healthcare innovation during infectious disease outbreaks, and the cost-effectiveness of advanced cardiovascular technologies. His most cited work, "Robotic Percutaneous Coronary Intervention During COVID-19 Pandemic: Outcomes and Cost-Effectiveness With Procedural Distancing" (2021, 4 citations), made a timely contribution by demonstrating how R-PCI could maintain procedural distancing and reduce healthcare worker exposure to COVID-19 while preserving clinical outcomes. This study highlighted the dual benefits of robotic systems—enhancing procedural precision while enabling critical infection control measures during a global health crisis. Dr. Sooknanan’s research bridges the gap between technological advancement and practical pandemic response, offering a model for future infectious disease preparedness in interventional cardiology. His work underscores the potential of robotics to transform cardiac care delivery, particularly in high-risk environments, and has influenced discussions on procedural safety and resource allocation. By quantifying both clinical and economic outcomes, Dr. Sooknanan provides evidence that innovation can simultaneously improve patient care and public health resilience.
