About
Rishi Arora, MD, is a highly experienced cardiologist specializing in heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation and complex arrhythmias. He provides personalized, evidence-based care using the latest treatments to help patients manage their conditions and improve their overall well-being. Dr. Arora is approachable and compassionate, taking time to listen, explain conditions in clear terms, and involve patients in decisions about their health. As an expert in cardiac electrophysiology and leading-edge research, Dr. Arora is at the forefront of developing innovative treatments for atrial fibrillation. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind atrial fibrillation, particularly the role of the autonomic nervous system, inflammation, and oxidative injury in heart rhythm disorders. His laboratory has pioneered new gene therapy approaches, showing promising results in reducing atrial fibrillation’s effects. With more than 100 peer-reviewed publications in top medical journals—including Science, Circulation, and Nature Biotechnology—his work has significantly advanced the field. In recognition of his contributions, he was inducted into the prestigious American Society for Clinical Investigation in 2020.

articleAIMS: To evaluate the efficacy of a unique healthy and happy lifestyle (HLS) program in regression of coronary atherosclerosis and reduction in cardiac events in an open trial. METHODS: One hundred and twenty three angiographically documented moderate to severe coronary artery disease (CAD) patients were administered HLS comprising of low-fat, high-fiber vegetarian diet, moderate aerobic exercise and stress-management through Rajyoga meditation. Its most salient feature was training in self-resp…

2015-01-01 · 4 citations
articleSummary Platelet serotonin (5-HT) studies were conducted with 12 hyperserotonemic and 12 normoserotonemic age-, sex-, and relationship-matched relatives of autistic probands. Each group consisted of 7 mothers, 4 fathers, and 1 sister of autistic children and adolescents. The density (B max ) of platelet 5-HT 2 receptor binding sites, labelled with [ 3 H]-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), was significantly lower in 11 hyperserotonemic subjects compared to 12 normoserotonemic subjects (40.9 ± 13.5…

articleOBJECTIVE: Percutaneous aortic valve replacement is a new emerging method for nonsurgical replacement of aortic valve in patients with severe aortic stenosis. We report the first-in-man case of percutaneous aortic valve replacement with self-expanding Core Valve aortic prosthesis. METHODS AND RESULTS: The procedure was performed on 12 July 2004 on a 62 years patient with severe aortic stenosis (peak systolic gradients across aortic valve being 90 mm Hg), moderately severe aortic regurgitation an…

articleOpen accessHelicoverpa armigera Hübner occurring on different host plants revealed a significant variation in morphometric traits studied among the populations. The cotton population recorded the maximum larval weight (532.36± 4.45 mg) while minimum was recorded in the sunflower population (402.07± 4.46 mg). The cotton population also recorded significantly longer larval length (25.86± 0.33 mm) which was at par with the pigeon pea population of (24.93± 0.24). The male and female pupae of H. armigera were s…
