Hirsch S. Mehta, MD, FACC, FHFSA, provides advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology in Chula Vista's Medical Center Drive corridor through the San Diego Cardiac Center Medical Group. His subspecialty in mechanical circulatory support and cardiac transplantation developed during a fellowship at Stanford Health Care (2013–2014), a credential that integrates with the acute cardiac infrastructure at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center where he holds active admitting privileges. Board certified in both cardiovascular disease and advanced heart failure/transplant cardiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (California license A105910), he graduated from Drexel University College of Medicine in 2007 and completed internal medicine training at the University of Chicago. His clinical scope covers cardiomyopathy, heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, and hypertensive crisis management. Post-discharge cardiac medication management for transplant patients relies on the dispensary infrastructure at Sharp Rees-Stealy Chula Vista Pharmacy, which stocks the immunosuppressive regimens his protocols require. Highest-acuity interventions include left ventricular assist device implantation candidacy evaluation and bridge-to-transplant hemodynamic optimization using invasive Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring.
