Summary

Dr. Mehra is the William Harvey Distinguished Chair in Advanced Cardiovascular Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School; He also served as Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation from 2010-2020.

Prior to joining the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Dr. Mehra served as the Dr. Herbert Berger Endowed Professor of Medicine and Head of Cardiology as well as Assistant Dean for Clinical Services at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Mehra has authored and published over 500 book chapters, manuscripts, editorials and abstracts focusing on all aspects of advanced heart failure and cardiac transplantation, treatment modalities, medical therapies and alternatives to transplantation. His specific research interests in cardiac transplantation focus on cardiac allograft vasculopathy (use of intravascular ultrasound and angioscopy), new immunosuppressive therapy to improve heart transplant outcomes (particularly in minority populations), and in bringing genomic and proteomic science to the bedside (to avoid the morbidity of endomyocardial biopsies).

In Heart Failure, his research has focused on the role of novel cardiac support devices and serum markers to guide diagnosis and therapy. One important area of his focus is in developing international guidelines for care of the heart transplant candidate and process enhancement for improving performance measure adherence in heart failure. Dr. Mehra is a Past-President of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT, 2008) and the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA, 2016). His current research is focussed on mechanical circulatory support and featured in journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine. He has a certificate in executive leadership from Harvard Business School. He also has a healthcare economic Masters degree from the London School of Economics, which he attained as the "Braunwald Scholar".
