Education

Our Advanced Fellowship in Preventive Cardiology provides in-depth, broad-based, multidisciplinary training in clinical cardiovascular risk factor detection and cardiometabolic disease prevention and management. Our fellows also receive a firm grounding in clinical research. Fellows learn about topics such as:

• Lipoprotein disorders
• Essential and secondary causes of hypertension
• Obesity and weight management
• Diabetes
• Chronic renal disease
• Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and steatohepatitis
• Behavior medication

Fellows also participate in translational research studies, gaining experience in areas including clinical trials, atherosclerosis imaging, genetic epidemiology, machine learning, and thrombosis. 

Some students in other programs at Icahn Mount Sinai have assisted researchers in the Metabolism and Lipids Program. They gain one-on-one training in specific techniques related to lipoproteins and atherosclerosis, such as management of protein disorders and cardiovascular risk factors. 

Patient Care

Our patient care focuses on cardiovascular preventive care with an emphasis on evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders. We have a specific focus on treatment of lipoprotein disorders. We perform enhanced risk assessments by analyzing biomarkers, genetics, and atherosclerosis imaging. We offer guidance on lifestyle changes, with specific counseling on nutrition and exercise. In addition, our patients have the opportunity to participate in mechanistic studies as well as phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials.
