Skills and Expertise

My name is Aditya John Binu and I am employed as an Associate Physician in the department of Cardiology. My area of interest is cardiovascular health with a specific interest in heart failure as well as enabling community-level access to resources such as echocardiography, coronary and valve-based interventions, and guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. I intend to develop community-based screening programs for early detection of coronary, valvular and congenital heart disease, primary and secondary prevention of CVD and disseminating public education regarding the same. My previous research work was focused on diverse fields such as cardiovascular manifestations of snake envenomation, peripartum cardiomyopathy, associations between coronary artery disease and atypical but common risk factors such as osteoporosis. I am pursuing a PhD centering on novel markers of Iron deficiency in heart failure (both patient- based and mice-based models). I have worked in CHAD as a medicine consultant for 6 months (2016); as a result of which I am aware of the challenges faced by health professionals at the primary and secondary care levels when managing patients with advanced CVD. I wish to utilize this opportunity to tailor programs to enable better cardiovascular health and spark a greater interest in ‘community cardiology’.
