Patients suffering from cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) problems are usually sent for tests and treatments at the hospital, despite studies showing that they are more satisfied and comfortable when the procedures occur outside the hospital setting. That's why esteemed endovascular and heart specialist Dr. Ramaraj opened Champion Heart and Vascular Center. Convenient and more cost-effective than going to the hospital, these are local, office-based, top-notch endovascular suite, vein center, echocardiography, heart and vascular labs that offer world-class treatment right in your neighborhood. They are the only such facilities in Dunn, Oxford, Fuquay-Varina, and Henderson, North Carolina.
Dr. Ramaraj had training and/or affliation with the following prestigious institutions- Yale University, Harvard Medical School, UCLA, Cedars Sinai Medical Center, and Duke University
Opening this innovative facility is just one way Dr. Ramaraj has always been dedicated to quality patient care. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Echocardiography ("FASE"), which recognizes exceptional practitioners with an extraordinary commitment to the field of cardiovascular ultrasound. This designation is considered the highest credential for echocardiology. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology ("FASNC")
He is a proud registered member of the Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society ("OEIS"). This means that every one of Dr. Ramaraj's patients and procedures is reported nationally, and the outcomes, peer-reviewed. Basically, Dr. Ramaraj's patients are getting the best care and treatment — better than what is offered at a hospital. All tests are administered according to the highest standards and patients receive a thoroughly authenticated report, which is reviewed by a board member certified in that area of expertise.
Dr. Ramaraj has trained at prestigious institutions — completing his cardiology fellowship at Cedars Sinai Medical Center( UCLA) in Los Angeles, his interventional cardiology fellowship at Yale, and vascular interpretation training at Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School — and with renowned Internal cardiovascular experts in the best institutions. Dr. Ramaraj is also accredited for nuclear cardiology from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission ("IAC"), known for its higher standards of accreditation.
Dr. Ramaraj's special interests include peripheral arterial disease, chronic limb ischemia, varicose veins, and deep venous thrombosis management. He has received accolades in cardiac and vascular imaging by notable American Societies.
