Studies
- ARISE study (Assessment of Rheumatic Heart Disease in India School Children by Echocardiography): population examined – 15,000 school children. It is a community-based study that performed Echocardiography of all school-going children (irrespective of symptomatic status) to see the prevalence of RF/RHD as well as congenital heart disease in several villages. It is an ambitious and largest community-based echo study in a world of this type. Being an important member of the team of this project performed about 8000 echocardiograms
- Patterns of Coronary Calcification, Signal Loss on MRI, and Lesion on Conventional Coronary Angiograms were compared in collaboration with the Department of Nuclear Medicine. Being the principal investigator, presented this data at an international conference ICCAD at Florence ITALY in 2003
- Prevalence and Pattern of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in patients with CAD. This is a prospective study, in which we do an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) of all patients scheduled for Coronary Angiograms irrespective of symptoms suggestive of PAD. Those with abnormal ABI undergo Peripheral Angio along with coronary angiograms
- He completed a study aimed to see the prevalence of PAD in symptomatic executives. Performed ABI of all executives who came for a routine comprehensive cardiac check-up and peripheral arterial Doppler followed those with abnormal ABI and if that is also abnormal, with a peripheral angiogram. This is in the process of compilation.
