Justin Grodin, M.D., M.P.H.

Justin Grodin, M.D., M.P.H., is an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and a member of its Cardiology Department. His clinical interests include end-stage heart failure, restrictive cardiomyopathies, hereditary cardiomyopathies, and hypertropic cardiomyopathies.

Originally from El Paso, Texas, Dr. Grodin holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry from the University of Texas at Austin. He earned his medical degree at UT Southwestern, where he also completed internal medicine residency training. He performed two fellowships at the Cleveland Clinic, one in cardiovascular disease and one in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology. Dr. Grodin also holds a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in cardiovascular disease, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology, and by the National Board of Echocardiography, he joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 2016.

Dr. Grodin's research interests include heart failure, the treatment of acute heart failure, cardiorenal syndrome, and metabolic and hemodynamic biomarkers of heart failure.

Dr. Grodin has numerous peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals. He serves as Co-Section Editor for the Current Heart Failure Reports’ “Biomarkers of Heart Failure” and as an ad-hoc reviewer for the Journal of Cardiac Failure, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Journal, Circulation: Heart Failure, and reviews abstracts for the American College of Cardiology. 

He is a member of the American College of Cardiology, the Heart Failure Society of America, and the Texas Medical Association.
