Biography
Ambarish Pandey, M.D., M.S.C.S., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a member of the Division of Cardiology. He specializes in preventive cardiology and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Originally from India, Dr. Pandey earned his medical degree at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. He then completed both his residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in cardiology at UT Southwestern, as well as a master's degree in clinical science.
Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in cardiovascular disease, he joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2018.
Dr. Pandey’s research is focused on predicting and preventing heart failure at a population level. His work has particularly focused on lifestyle risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity as potentially modifiable targets for the prevention of heart failure. He is developing novel screening strategies that can identify the individuals at highest risk for heart failure and target them with effective preventive interventions.
His investigations have led to more than 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Additionally, he has presented his findings at scientific conferences throughout the United States.
In 2018, he was named a Texas Health Resources Clinical Scholar, an award that supports his ongoing research.
At UT Southwestern, he serves as Associate Program Director for Internal Medicine Residency Research. He also serves as an attending physician in cardiology and echocardiology for rotating graduate students.
Dr. Pandey is a member of the American Heart Association (AHA), where he serves on several committees, including the Scientific Sessions Planning Committee and the Epidemiology Early Career Committee. He has received numerous AHA awards, including the 2019-20 Elizabeth Barrett-Connor Research Award and the Steven N. Blair Award for Excellence in Physical Activity Research.
Personal Note
Dr. Pandey’s interests outside of medicine include his family, cricket, and movies.
