For more information on the doctor and patient care, please visit the clinical profile. Biography Anas Jawaid, M.D., M.S., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center and a member of its Division of Cardiology. He specializes in advanced heart failure and heart transplantation and left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Dr. Jawaid holds a bachelor's degree in biology with a concentration in biochemistry from Washington University in St. Louis. He earned a master's degree in physiology from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, where he also obtained his medical degree. He completed internal medicine residency training at Strong Memorial Hospital and the University of Rochester Medical Center, where he also gained advanced training through a cardiovascular disease fellowship. Dr. Jawaid also completed an advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology fellowship at UT Southwestern. Prior to joining the UT Southwestern faculty in 2025, Dr. Jawaid served on the faculty at the University of Rochester School of Medicine in New York. Dr. Jawaid’s research interests include the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of advanced heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and mechanical circulatory support, with a particular focus on heart transplant populations and ventricular assist devices. His published work and national presentations show sustained interest in improving device therapy, from cardiac resynchronization and implantable cardioverter‑defibrillator programming to the clinical challenges of LVAD implantation and thrombosis, as well as understanding biomarkers, renal function, and post‑transplant outcomes in high‑risk patients. He also investigates complex or atypical cardiovascular conditions, including cardiac sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, carcinoid heart disease, and rare arrhythmias, and contributes to research exploring coronary physiology, myocardial perfusion imaging, and structural heart interventions. Together, these efforts reflect a broad commitment to advancing evidence‑based care for patients with severe heart failure and those requiring advanced therapies such as LVAD support or heart transplantation. Dr. Jawaid is a member of the American College of Cardiology, the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the American Society of Transplantation, the Heart Failure Society of America, and the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. Personal Note When he’s not at work, Dr. Jawaid enjoys watching European soccer and playing tennis.
