Doctor Luigi Adamo

Washington University, St Louis (United States of America)

Dr Luigi Adamo is a heart failure specialist and a physician-scientist in the Center for Cardiovascular Research at Washington University in St Louis. After graduating from University of Palermo Medical School (Italy), Dr Adamo moved to the US to complete a PhD in Biology and Biomedical Sciences at Harvard University. Afterwards, he was recruited to Washington University in St Louis where he completed Internal Medicine Residency, Cardiology Fellowship, Advanced Heart Failure Fellowship and finally post-doctoral training in the group of Dr Doug Mann. Dr Adamo's clinical research focuses on heart failure with recovered ejection fraction and patient selection for durable mechanical circulatory support. Dr Adamo's basic research focuses on inflammation in heart failure.
