Dr. Priya Chockalingam studied medicine in Chennai, India, and trained in Paediatrics from the United Kingdom. Her deep interest in the basics of the heart and its functioning led her to pursue clinical research in Cardiology in The Netherlands from where she obtained her doctoral degree. Having lived in five countries in three different continents and having worked with patients of different cultures, she strongly believes that cardiovascular and other lifestyle diseases are a truly global problem. However, she is also convinced that every individual, if given the right information and guidance, can prevent and control these diseases effectively. Dr. Priya has a keen interest to support people in making positive lifestyle changes and to help them lead healthier, happier and longer lives. Dr. V. Chockalingam, a pioneer in the field of Cardiology in India, is a passionate physician, a revered teacher and an able orator. His untiring commitment and enthusiasm to patient-care and education have uniformly endeared him to patients and students all over the world. After retiring as the Professor and Head of Cardiology from Madras Medical College and General Hospital, Chennai, Dr. Chockalingam continues to serve by helping care for heart patients, teaching medical students and spreading public awareness about heart attack and its prevention. He is a strong proponent of the philosophy that a positive and a balanced mindset is the best preventive tool.
