Biography

John Stendahl, MD, PhD, specializes in cardiovascular imaging and the diagnosis and management of inherited and infiltrative cardiomyopathies. He provides a patient-centered approach to care that is based on the latest scientific findings and diagnostics, and often involves genetic analysis and various types of advanced cardiac imaging.

Dr. Stendahl treats a variety of complex conditions, including hypertrophic, dilated, and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies, as well as cardiac amyloid. He performs and interprets various cardiovascular imaging studies, including cardiovascular SPECT, PET, and CT scans. His work includes stress testing and coronary CT for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease, as well as the latest molecular imaging techniques to evaluate various forms of cardiomyopathy.

In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Stendahl performs clinical and translational research pertaining to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, cardiac transplantation, cardiac devices, and cardiovascular imaging. This includes clinical trials of the latest medications to treat cardiomyopathies, as well as translational work focused on development and discovery.
