Dr. Tania Ahuja

Biography

Tania Ahuja is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine with expertise in pharmacology and anticoagulation management. Her primary research goal is to refine the decision-making process in selecting and managing antithrombotic therapies based on patient-specific factors, ultimately aiming to reduce adverse drug events and improve therapeutic outcomes for high-risk cardiovascular patients. Her work investigates the interplay of pharmacotherapy and drug-drug interactions, particularly with antiplatelets, and addresses management strategies for anticoagulation in complex conditions such as cardiogenic shock. Ahuja's current research focuses on enhancing pharmacotherapeutic management for antithrombotic therapy, specifically in critically ill patients suffering from cardiovascular disease. She is also exploring the use of antithrombotic therapies in patients with mechanical circulatory support and evaluating antiarrhythmic drugs' roles in anticoagulation management for those experiencing cardiogenic shock in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). Additionally, her investigations include anticoagulation reversal strategies and optimal dosing for monitoring anticoagulants in venous thromboembolism (VTE) within critically ill patients, including those affected by COVID-19.
