Hassan Kafri, MD operates the Kafri Heart & Vascular Clinic on Chula Vista's Broadway corridor, bringing triple board certification in cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology, and nuclear cardiology to the South Bay. His interventional cardiology caseload — cardiac catheterization, coronary stenting, and peripheral vascular intervention — often originates from acute chest pain presentations triaged through Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center Emergency Room on the Medical Center Drive corridor. He earned his medical degree from the University of Damascus School of Medicine in 1994 and completed internal medicine residency, cardiovascular disease fellowship, and interventional cardiology fellowship at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. Cardiovascular patients on anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy require dental clearance coordination before invasive procedures, a protocol managed with practices including Village Dental Group and Orthodontics for endocarditis-risk assessment. He speaks Arabic, English, German, Russian, and Spanish, and his diagnostic suite includes nuclear stress testing, echocardiography, and carotid duplex ultrasonography — the full noninvasive cardiac imaging spectrum required for pre-catheterization risk stratification.
