Summary

Jonathan Grinstein, MD, is an advanced heart failure physician and Director of Mechanical Circulatory Support for the Advanced Heart Failure Group at The University of Chicago. He is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at The University of Chicago and a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Society and the Gold Humanism Honor Society.

As a specialist in the field of cardiovascular disease and advanced heart failure, Dr. Grinstein treats patients through the use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), long-term IV medications or continuous infusion pump medications, and heart transplantation.

Dr. Grinstein received his medical degree from the University of Chicago. He then joined Brigham and Women’s Hospital, associated with Harvard Medical School, for internship and residency training in internal medicine. Finally, he returned to the University of Chicago for a three-year fellowship in cardiology followed by specialty training in advanced heart failure.

Dr. Grinstein participates in novel research involving LVADs. In lieu of a physical examination or an invasive right heart catheterization procedure, Dr. Grinstein has researched, perfected, and currently utilizes an echocardiographic and computed tomography techniques to noninvasively monitor the pressure and volume inside the heart of individuals with an implanted LVAD. This technique allows cardiologists to analyze how well a patient is responding to the device and make necessary adjustments in real time. He is conducting research to develop a “smart” LVAD that can intuitively adjust its speed based on the physiological needs of the patient. He is also using computational fluid dynamics to study and predict blood flow patterns through the LVAD to maximize device performance.

He is board certified in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, Cardiovascular Disease and Internal Medicine.
