I take care of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). I also research signaling pathways that are altered in the development of PH in rodent models of the disease. PH covers a wide spectrum of diseases, from the rare pulmonary arterial hypertension (prevalence of 15 in one million) to complications of more common heart and lung disease. PH typically leads to complications through its effects on the heart, leading to heart failure. At the Duke Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease we see a number of patients with PH and offer all available therapies, including continuous intravenous infusion, inhaled therapies, and surgical options. Dr. Rajagopal is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). His top areas of expertise are Pulmonary Hypertension, Hypertension, Pulmonary Veno-Occlusive Disease, Embolectomy, and Angioplasty.
