Dear Aspirant,

The salary of an entry level cardiothoracic surgeon having (1-3 years of experience) is around 19 LPA. On the other end, a senior level cardiothoracic surgeon having (8+ years of experience) has an average salary of 50 LPA .

In india the average salary for these surgeons is nearly 30 LPA, and experinece has a very large effect on salary.

Hope this helps.
