Rush cardiologists use sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic tools and work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary manner to provide superior outcomes for patients with advanced heart failure.

Featured in this episode of Rounding at Rush are Tisha Suboc, MD, a cardiologist and the medical director of Advanced Heart Failure at Rush, and Karolina Marinescu, MD, a cardiologist and the director of the Infiltrative Cardiomyopathy Program at Rush.

“When we see patients, we see them on a continuum,” says Dr. Suboc: When we see them in the hospital, the care doesn’t just stop once they’re discharged. We take care of them from the time they’re in hospital to when they're discharged and follow them long-term.

It’s not just the patients’ heart failure team; they’re seen by their cardiologist, endocrinologist, electrophysiologist and primary care doctor. The multidisciplinary approach we use at Rush has brought us success in managing these types of patients.”
