Featuring: Gautam Ramani, MD

Dr. Ramani is a cardiologist who specializes in the treatment of advanced heart failure and pulmonary hypertension.

Dr. Ramani cares for patients along the entire spectrum of pulmonary hypertension, whether they just need further evaluation or were previously diagnosed and treated by another health care provider but have worsening symptoms and need a second opinion.

"Cardiology, especially pulmonary hypertension and heart failure, is appealing to me because it allows me to take care of patients and build relationships with them," he says. "I get to know patients and share their experiences with them. It's very rewarding when patients get better."

In addition to pulmonary hypertension and congestive heart failure, Dr. Ramani's special interests include cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support.

Dr. Ramani is the medical director of University of Maryland Medical Center's Pulmonary Hypertension Program, which is nationally recognized by the Pulmonary Hypertension Association as a comprehensive care center.
