Ramesh Mazhari

Ramesh Mazhari is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Dr. Mazhari joined the faculty of the George Washington University in 2008. She specializes in interventional cardiology, cardiac catheterization, and peripheral vascular disease. Her clinical interests include management of patients with coronary disease, peripheral vascular disease, hemodynamic studies, congestive heart failure, and valvular heart disease.

Research

Dr. Mazhari spent two years at Johns Hopkins Stem Cell Institute to investigate the role of stem cell therapy in heart failure.

After joining the George Washington University, she enrolled in a master's training in clinical translational science with focus on genomic medicine. Her research uses genomic testing to assess the population at risk for premature coronary artery disease, and to determine the outcome of patients with congestive heart failure.

She is also interested in minimally invasive interventional procedures including trans-radial cardiac catheterization and interventions in women and elderly population.
