Ramesh K. Adiraju MD, FACC

Dr. Adiraju is the founder and medical director of RENU-CA. He is a board-certified interventional cardiologist and endovascular specialist. His medical education was completed at the Kasturba Gandhi Medical School, Mangalore University, India. He subsequently completed his Residency Training in Internal Medicine at Shadyside Hospital, Pittsburgh, and Fellowship in Interventional Cardiology at Lankenau Hospital, Philadelphia.

Upon completing Fellowship in 1993, Dr. Adiraju joined a busy cardiology private practice based in Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Dr. Adiraju pursued clinical research interests while in private practice in novel endovascular techniques for coronary and peripheral vascular disease re-vascularization and dysautonomia syndromes. In 2005, Dr. Adiraju established RENU-CA Research Institute, to pursue his research.

Dr. Adiraju has performed over 100 complex coronary procedures with Impella hemodynamic support. He has developed new indications for optimal use of Impella hemodynamic support in cardiomyopathy and chronic congestive heart failure treatment. Dr. Adiraju has successfully deployed the Impella device even in severe peripheral arterial disease patients for support during complex coronary artery disease revascularization procedures.

Dr. Adiraju has developed novel cardiomyopathy and severe systolic heart failure management protocol with an autonomic neurohormonal modulation program augmented with extended Impella hemodynamic support. To date, RENU-CA institute has successfully implemented these protocols to reverse severe left ventricular dysfunction in close to 100 patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and avoided the need for defibrillators and other high-risk and expensive device therapies that are currently being used for these patients.
