Doctor Tania Ahuja

Tania Ahuja is Assistant Director of Clinical Pharmacy Services for Cardiology & Medicine and Assistant Director of Antithrombotic & Hemostatic Stewardship at NYU Langone Health. She is also Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The primary goal of her research is to refine the decision-making process for selecting and managing antithrombotic therapies based on patient-specific factors, with the ultimate aim of reducing adverse drug events and improving therapeutic outcomes in high-risk cardiovascular patients. This includes investigating the interplay between pharmacotherapy, drug-drug interactions (such as those between antiplatelets), sedation strategies, and the management of anticoagulation in patients with complex conditions like cardiogenic shock. By optimizing these therapeutic approaches, her research seeks to enhance patient safety and the overall effectiveness of treatments in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU).
