Biography

Jonathan Grinstein, MD, is a highly respected cardiologist specializing in the medical management of advanced heart failure. He treats patients requiring long-term intravenous medications, continuous infusion pump medications, and mechanical circulatory support including left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and heart transplantation. Dedicated to excellent clinical care, Dr. Grinstein is also passionate about furthering medical research. He has evaluated and perfected echocardiographic and computed tomography techniques to noninvasively monitor pressure volume in heart patients with implanted LVADs. This technique enables cardiologists to analyze patient responses to devices and make necessary adjustments in real time. Additionally, he is conducting research to develop “smart” LVADs that intuitively adjust speed based on physiological needs. Utilizing computational fluid dynamics, he studies and predicts blood flow patterns in LVADs to maximize device performance. His research has been published in high-impact peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Cardiac Failure and the American Society of Artificial Internal Organs Journal.
