Heart Failure (HF): The heart failure faculty consists of two fellowship-trained heart failure/transplant cardiologists who practice in collaboration with a multidisciplinary care team. The clinical experience for cardiovascular medicine fellows emphasizes consultative care of patients with heart failure and cardiomyopathy as well as those who are candidates for, or have previously undergone, heart transplantation or mechanical circulatory support. We offer special exposure to the evaluation of patients presenting with cardiomyopathy using various diagnostic tools including imaging methods, endomyocardial biopsy, and genetic testing. There is a balance of inpatient and outpatient activities, and the fellow will typically attend 4 specialized heart failure outpatient clinic sessions per week. The didactic component of the heart failure rotation is robust; a substantial portion of our fellowship’s unique self-study curriculum (described elsewhere) is devoted to advanced heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and heart transplantation. Over the last few years, fully 25% of our graduating fellows have pursued advanced training in heart failure and transplantation, successfully matching in HF programs including the University of Rochester, Montefiore Medical Center, Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of Chicago.
