Interventional cardiologist Steven Rough, MD returned to his native Chula Vista to practice at the Heart & Wellness Center, Suite 101 at 754 Medical Center Court, with board certification in both cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology. Post-cardiac-event recovery coordination includes home-based monitoring through Priority Home Care for patients transitioning from catheterization lab procedures to outpatient management. Temple University School of Medicine training in 2005 led to internal medicine residency at the University of Arizona, cardiovascular disease fellowship at St. Louis University, and interventional cardiology fellowship at Drexel University's Hahnemann Hospital. The practice maintains dual Sharp affiliation at both Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Sharp Memorial Hospital, with integrative cardiac wellness pathways extending to stress-reduction support at Urban Sage Acupuncture + Wellness. Highest-acuity interventions include primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction via radial artery access with intravascular ultrasound-guided stent deployment.
