Cardiologist Dr. Kanu Chatterjee has more than 30 years of experience in diagnosing and managing coronary artery disease, heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. He is a world-renowned researcher in vascular reactivity and heart failure and has pioneered the study of drugs, such as ACE inhibitors and vasodilators, that have become the standard of care for heart failure.

He serves on advisory boards for pulmonary hypertension study designs and on data, safety and monitoring committees for multi-center trials of pulmonary hypertension treatments. Certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease, he is on the editorial boards of professional journals in cardiology. He was director of the Inpatient Cardiology Service at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles before joining the UCSF Medical Center staff in 1975 as director of the Cardiac Care Unit and associate chief of Cardiology. He is the Ernest Gallo Distinguished Professor of Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. A research center at UCSF, called the Chatterjee Center for Cardiac Research, was named after him.
