Women Cardiologists

Hi! My name is Henrietta "Hetty" Afari.  I was born and raised in Accra, Ghana and attended high school in Wales before moving to the United States for the rest of my training. I did my medical school training at Harvard Medical School,  Internal Medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, and worked as a hospitalist for a number of years before completing General Cardiology fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. I recently joined faculty as a non-invasive cardiologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.  My current interests include women’s cardiovascular health, cardiovascular imaging, and global health. Outside of medicine, I enjoy local and international travel, trying out new restaurants, and taking treasured trips to Costco. 

Hello! My name is Eva Vaishnav. I have spent most of my time in Pennsylvania; I grew up in Hershey, completed undergraduate studies at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, and attended medical school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie. I moved to New York for my Internal Medicine Residency at UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City (near Binghamton) and General Cardiology Fellowship at Coney Island Hospital in South Brooklyn. I then went on to complete a fellowship in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. I currently work as a heart failure cardiologist at Geisinger Medical Center. My professional interests include cardiogenic shock and mechanical circulatory support. Apart from medicine, I am a tennis, European history, and gardening enthusiast.
