Amir Ahmadi, MD

Dr. Ahmadi completed his Cardiology fellowship, Internal Medicine residency, Medical School, and Undergraduate Studies in immunology and genetics at the University of British Columbia. He moved to New York for advanced training in multimodality cardiovascular imaging including echocardiography, interventional echocardiography, cardiac CT angiography, and cardiac MRI. He subsequently joined the faculty at Mount Sinai Fuster Heart at Morningside and  now serves as Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine and Cardiology. He is the Director of Inpatient Cardiology and Co-Director of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) at Mount Sinai Morningside. His clinical practice includes cardiac intensive care, multimodality cardiovascular imaging, and Preventative Cardiology based on detection of Early Atherosclerosis.
Dr. Ahmadi’s research interests revolve around the use of multimodality imaging to understand various cardiovascular disease processes. In particular, he has been focusing on using CT coronary angiography in the early detection of atherosclerosis, aggressive treatment of subclinical atherosclerosis in a personalized fashion, fostering the understanding of the mechanism of myocardial infarction, and the relationship between high-risk plaque features and ischemia. Dr. Ahmadi has published numerous original research articles and hypothesis-generating manuscripts in high-impact journals such as JACC, European Heart Journal, JAMA Cardiology, JACC CV Imaging, Circulation Research, Circulation CV Imaging, and Radiology.
He has been the recipient of multiple institutional, national, and international awards, including the Best Clinical Teaching Award from the Icahn School of Medicine and Mount Sinai in 2022, the Faculty Council Award in 2023, and best abstract awards at the American College of Cardiology, Canadian Cardiovascular Congress, and the Society of Cardiovascular CT annual scientific meetings.
