    CLINICAL INTERESTS; Dr. Grossman is a cardiologist and director of the Center for Prevention of Heart and Vascular Disease at Mission Bay. He is the Charles and Helen Schwab Endowed Chair in Preventive Cardiology at UCSF and a former chief of Cardiology at UCSF Medical Center. He specializes in treatments to prevent the development or progression of heart disease and cares for patients with hypertension (high blood pressure), dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol), coronary artery disease (previous or recent heart attack and angina), valvular heart disease, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

    RESEARCH INTERESTS; Dr. Grossman has been a pioneer in research on diastolic function of the heart, and causes of cardiac muscle hypertrophy. He has also done research on the development of new treatments for heart failure, and valvular heart disease. He is editor of the textbook "Grossman's Cardiac Catheterization, Angiography and Intervention," which remains a standard in the field.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
