Dr. Varghese is Associate Professor of Surgery in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery. He completed his medical school, and residency in Cardiac Surgery at the University of Western Ontario in Ontario, Canada. After completing his board examinations in Cardiac Surgery he went on to complete specialty training in Critical Care providing him with the expertise to manage complex patients after heart surgery. Dr. Varghese joined Mount Sinai in 2009 where he completed a 2-year fellowship in both mitral valve repair and aortic valve/aneurysm surgeries allowing him to be facile with a variety of heart disease including valve regurgitation, stenosis, aneurysms, coronary artery disease, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and tumors of the heart.
