INTRODUCTION
Dr. k. k. Talwar introduced the endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) procedure at AIIMS in 1986. He deployed the technique in the evaluation and diagnosis of tropical heart muscle diseases, and his findings on the occurrence of inflammatory myocarditis in Takayasu’s arteritis patients have been documented. The first instance of the topic was published in medical literature. He also proposed a therapeutic protocol for reversing the myocardial dysfunction using immunosuppressants. He established a radiofrequency ablation facility in 1992 at AIIMS as a therapeutic procedure for remedying cardiac arrhythmia, and three years later, he introduced the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation procedure in 1995, the first time the procedure was performed in South Asia. The effort earned him a mention in the 1997 edition of the Limca Book of Records. In 2000, he brought cardiac resynchronization therapy to India for the first time. The introduction of a multisite pacing system for managing heart failure and pioneering efforts in electrophysiology and cardiac pacemakers are some of his other notable contributions. His work on cardiac arrhythmia helped develop it as a specialty in India, and he was associated with the heart transplant program at AIIMS. His work has been documented by way of several publications, which include 240 articles and 270 abstracts published in various peer-reviewed medical journals. He has also contributed 15 chapters to various medical texts.
