Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist | LVAD & ECMO
About The Position
The Sands-Constellation Heart & Vascular Institute at Rochester Regional Health is seeking a fellowship-trained Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist to join an established, dedicated Advanced Heart Failure team in Rochester, New York. This is a true Advanced Heart Failure practice, offering meaningful involvement in the care of complex heart failure patients across the continuum, including cardiogenic shock, dedicated CICU care, temporary and durable mechanical circulatory support, advanced hemodynamics, and destination LVAD therapy.

Sands-Constellation Heart & Vascular Institute provides comprehensive Advanced Heart Failure care across a broad regional referral network. Program highlights include a dedicated Advanced Heart Failure practice with fellowship-trained HF physicians, a dedicated Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) with strong Advanced Heart Failure physician involvement, an active cardiogenic shock program including temporary mechanical circulatory support and ECMO, a destination LVAD program with involvement in evaluation, management, and longitudinal follow-up, heart transplant collaboration with NYU, advanced invasive hemodynamics, endomyocardial biopsy and pulmonary angiography, comprehensive HFpEF, amyloidosis, pulmonary hypertension, and inherited cardiomyopathy programs, implantable hemodynamic monitoring, dedicated Heart Failure infusion services and cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and clinical research and trials supported by dedicated infrastructure and staff. Multidisciplinary collaboration across Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery, Critical Care, Genetics, Pharmacy, and Advanced Practice Providers is integral to the program.
