Get to know Cardiologist Dr. J. Eduardo Rame, who serves patients in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

Dr. Rame is a board-certified cardiologist who currently serves as the Medical Director of Mechanical Circulatory Support at the University of Pennsylvania Health System in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His primary focus is to provide expertise in the area of myocardial failure in the more advanced stage of the syndrome. 

Alongside his clinical role, he serves as an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, which is the flagship hospital of Penn Medicine. The world-class faculty of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is dedicated to superior care, education, and research for a better future.

After earning his Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University, as well as his Master of Philosophy degree in Economics and Health Outcomes from the University of Oxford, Dr. Rame went on to obtain his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts in 1997. He then completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, followed by his fellowship in cardiovascular disease at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. 

A Fellow of the American Heart Association and a Fellow of European Society of Cardiology, Dr. Rame is board-certified in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. 

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).
