Fixing the Ravages of Heart Disease and Improving Patient Outcomes Through Education

Dr. Harsh Agrawal is a highly trained and experienced cardiologist, serves as the Medical Director of Structural Heart Disease at Washington Township Medical Foundation in Fremont, California. 

His distinguished career is marked by his specialization in complex coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular interventions. His expertise also extends to the care of patients with valvular heart disease, where he performs intricate structural and coronary interventions, including groundbreaking procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and percutaneous left and right ventricular assist device placements.

“The heart is a complex organ and most of our bodies are connected to it. I am very curious about how heart valve disease develops and how we can care for people across their lifespans with this disease. Over my years of practice, I have witnessed improvements in patient outcomes related to advancements in medical technology and new devices. Every day, I work to find solutions for people suffering from heart failure. This is what I want to bring to our patients and the community.”

With a family legacy of medical professionals, Dr. Agrawal’s journey began in India, where he graduated with his Medical Degree from Bharati Vidyapeeth Medical College in 2006. An insatiable desire to excel in patient care brought him to the United States to continue his medical training. He completed a residency in internal medicine at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center before completing fellowships in cardiovascular medicine (University of Missouri, Columbia), interventional cardiology (St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center), and structural interventional cardiology (University of California San Francisco), culminating in 2019.

Board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and interventional cardiology, Dr. Agrawal is esteemed as a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. To boot, he holds certifications in endovascular interventions, echocardiography, cardiac CT, nuclear cardiology, and vascular ultrasound.

Prior to joining Washington Township Medical Foundation, Dr. Agrawal contributed cutting-edge heart and vascular care at an academic medical center. His involvement in clinical trials and research has led to significant advancements in valve replacement and cardiovascular disease management. He plans to introduce state-of-the-art technology, such as the Watchman device and the MitraClip, to enhance cardiac care at Washington Township Medical Foundation.

In addition to his medical expertise, Dr. Agrawal’s fluency in English and Hindi enables him to provide personalized and compassionate care to a diverse patient population.
