Arthur M Feldman MD Ph D
After receiving his B.A. degree from Gettysburg College, and
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Maryland, Dr. Feldman
served as a post-doctoral fellow in physiology at the Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine. After completing his medical degree
at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine, he returned
to Johns Hopkins where he served as an intern, resident and
cardiology fellow.
After joining the faculty in 1985, he was named the Director of the
Belfer Laboratory for Molecular Biology of Heart Failure and the
Director of the Heart Failure Research Program at The Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine. In 2004 Dr. Feldman joined the
faculty at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine as the
Harry S. Tack Professor of Medicine, Chief of the Division of
Cardiology, and Director of the Cardiovascular Institute of the
UPMC Health System.
In 2002, Dr. Feldman was named the Magee Professor of Medicine and
Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Jefferson Medical
College. He is a past President of the Heart Failure Society of
America and of the Association of Professors of Cardiology. He has
served on the editorial boards of many scientific journals and was
elected to membership in organizations including Alpha Omega Alpha,
the Association of University Cardiologists, the American Society
for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American
Physicians.
He has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles. Dr. Feldman’s
research has focused on molecular and clinical aspects of heart
failure. Most recently he has chaired the Steering Committees for
the PEECH, EMOTE and WEAR-IT trials and co-chaired the COMPANION
study.
