He undertook research looking at life course determinants of cardiac strucutre and function in the longest running birth cohort study in the UK (the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development). Following up over 5000 men and women born in 1946, Arjun and colleagues have shown that blood pressure and body mass index in earlier life are associated with cardiac structure and function many years down the line at age 60-64 years. His research has won numerous awards internationally, nationally and at Imperial and he was awarded his PhD in 2013. His work has also generated high-impact publications.
Current research interests include following up the 1946 British Birth cohort from a cardiovascular viewpoint. He is based at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust for his clinical duties and is subspecializing in heart failure and imaging
