In addition to interventional cardiology, Dr. Raveendran is board-certified in critical care medicine. Raveendran’s clinical interests include diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization in critical-care and other high-risk patients, minimally-invasive closure of congenital heart defects in adults, prosthetic implantation for valvular heart disease, and balloon pulmonary angioplasty.

Raveendran is currently Chief of Clinical Cardiology, Director of Interventional Cardiology and Director of the Interventional and Structural Heart Disease Fellowship programs.
