Critical care and Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation at Allegheny General Hospital

I have been with AHN since December 2018 and specialize in critical care/cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Our intensive care unit deals with a high volume of patients supported with mechanical circulatory devices, including VA-ECMO, percutaneous ventricular assist devices (pVADs), and intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs), that require prehabilitation to improve their qualification for advanced therapies including heart transplant and durable left ventricular assist devices.
