Invasive cardiologist Damian Rasch practices in Encinitas with San Diego Cardiovascular Associates at the Santa Fe Drive medical campus near Scripps Memorial Hospital. His training at the University of Chicago, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Cleveland Clinic internal medicine residency, and Riverside Medical Center cardiovascular fellowship supports the evidence-based cardiac rehabilitation referrals he coordinates with United Medical Fitness for supervised exercise protocols. Privileges at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, and the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute provide access to advanced catheterization labs for diagnostic and interventional procedures. Spanish-language consultations expand access for North County patients, and AI-enhanced diagnostic imaging supports early detection of structural and ischemic heart disease, a preventive-first model that complements the lifestyle optimization at Heart Strong Wellness. Highest-complexity interventions include cardiac catheterization with coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent deployment, and hemodynamic assessment for valvular heart disease requiring multidisciplinary surgical-team coordination.
