Career

An academic interventional cardiologist, Naidu is a national expert in the management of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,[1] including the minimally-invasive alternative to surgery known as alcohol septal ablation.[2][3][4] A co-author on the 2011 ACCF/AHA National Guideline on the Diagnosis and Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, he is Editor of the international textbook on the disease[5][6] and runs a Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Treatment Center, following over 600 patients and families, and performing over 120 alcohol septal ablations. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death among athletes, and a cause of heart failure at all ages.[7]

Naidu is Director of Interventional Innovation and Director of the Multi-Center Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Program - with Divisions in Long Island and Westchester - at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY. He is a two-term Past Member of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Interventional Scientific Council, Associate Director of Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), and has served on the Program Committee for the American Heart Association Annual Scientific Sessions. He is the author of over 100 original scientific manuscripts, and has authored clinical practice guidelines and consensus statements on behalf of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA) and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), including Chairing the National Best Practices in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory document that outlines optimal process improvement for all cardiac catheterization laboratories in the United States.[8] Dr. Naidu is Founder and Past Chair of the Emerging Leader Mentorship (ELM) Program for SCAI (in partnership with ACC and the Cardiovascular Research Foundation), a national leadership pipeline initiated in 2010 that identifies and trains 10 interventional cardiologists every two years.[9][10]

Naidu is Past Trustee of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, the primary professional society for physicians specializing in interventional cardiology. An alum of the highly selective Brown University 8-year Program in Liberal Medical Education, Naidu is Past President of the Alpert Medical School of Brown University Alumni Association Board of Directors, and a Trustee of the Brown Corporation of Brown University,[11] the governing body of the University wherein ultimate authority resides.

Naidu lives in Manhattan, New York.
