Clinical Interests
Dr Rajagopalan’s clinical interests are in the area of atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease. He is also interested in advanced imaging modalities such as MRI and CT for the diagnosis of atherosclerotic vascular disease and its complications.
Research Interests
Dr Rajagopalan has been interested in how risk factors including chronic diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis modulate vascular tone and thereby alter arterial function and cardiovascular risk. The major focus in this area has been in the area of free radical stress and eNOS regulation. Some of these findings have been published in journals such as Journal of Clinical Investigation, Circulation, JAMA and Blood.
