Pooja Prasad, MD

Assistant Professor

Dr. Prasad has multiple clinical research interests. In addition to diagnostic and therapeutic advances in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, she is interested in optimizing outcomes post-transplant. Specifically, she is interested in the non-invasive detection of rejection in dual organ transplant recipients and the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
