 Heart failure is the most common diagnosis for admission to a hospital in the United States. As a cardiologist, my philosophy is very patient-oriented. A patient is not a number. At GW Hospital, every patient is thoughtfully evaluated and their treatment discussed among our multi-disciplinary teams. I believe in collaborating with the patient and their caregivers to understand what is meaningful for them, particularly with heart failure, because it takes a village to care for heart failure patients. GW Hospital Heart has the tools, techniques, and many innovative programs to provide quality care.
