Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani Launches Dedicated Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic
Chennai: Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, has inaugurated a dedicated Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, a first-of-its-kind initiative offering comprehensive medical, interventional, and surgical evaluation management, and follow-up for patients across all age groups affected by pulmonary hypertension (PH).
A Step Towards Advancing Specialized Cardiopulmonary Care
The clinic, operating under the Department of Cardiology, is equipped to manage complex cases of Pulmonary Hypertension and individuals requiring genetic evaluation. Pulmonary Hypertension is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly in children and high-risk adult populations.
Quote from Dr. Anbarasu Mohanraj, Clinical Lead & Senior Consultant-Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery
“This clinic will provide treatments for complex pulmonary cases with collaborative care. Conditions like Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) will be treated at the clinic, offering new possibilities for patients.”
Comprehensive Care Services
The clinic offers a suite of advanced diagnostics and interventional services, including:
- Right heart catheterization
- Advanced imaging (CT, MRI, lung perfusion scans)
- Genetic screening to identify hereditary risk factors and support early intervention
Collaborative Care Approach
The clinic delivers truly comprehensive care under one roof, with inputs from multiple specialties, including Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Genetics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Neonatology.
Quote from Prof P Manokar, Senior Interventional Cardiologist
“The strength of this clinic lies in its integration. Pulmonary Hypertension affects multiple organ systems, and our team approach ensures that every aspect of a patient’s health is considered.”
Quote from Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals
“This Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic reflects our core philosophy at Kauvery – combining clinical excellence with compassionate, specialized care.”
The clinic is now open for consultations and referrals at Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, and is poised to become a national referral center for pulmonary hypertension management.
