Overview
Dr. Seamus Whelton MD, MPH, is an Associate Professor of Cardiology and member of the Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease. His primary clinical and research expertise includes the pathogenesis, risk prediction, prevention, and treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with an emphasis on the identification of coronary artery calcium via cardiac CT scanning. He is Director of the Advanced Subclinical Atherosclerosis Clinic, which focuses on the treatment of patients with incidentally discovered coronary artery calcium detected by CT imaging. He is also an expert on the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and risk factors for aortic valve calcification. He has led pioneering research to describe the use aortic valve calcification to predict the risk of aortic stenosis. Dr. Whelton has published more than 130 peer reviewed manuscripts, multiple book chapters, and has been an invited lecturer at both national and international conferences. He is an Associate Editor at the Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography and the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
