Dr. Sudarshan Rajagopal
Overview
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.

Duke Cardiology Arringdon
I am an interventional cardiologist and researcher who has been at Duke for nearly 20 years. I enjoy being at Duke because of the “family” I get to work with every day. When we are able to make a patient feel better through teamwork; it’s a great feeling. I chose cardiology as my specialty because of the chance to make a difference in someone’s life in real time. When someone is having a heart attack, they are relying on you to come to their aid quickly. At that moment, I get to apply science to save a life, while learning more about what we can do to help improve people’s lives in the future. In that way, medicine also gives me the chance to learn from my patients and apply what I find to benefit the greater good. I find that whole process is exciting. When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my school-aged children. Dr. Patel is highly rated in 22 conditions, according to our data.
