معرفی
Carlos D. Davila, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. He is a dual board-certified interventional cardiologist and advanced heart failure specialist with specialized training in structural heart interventions. His clinical expertise includes performing coronary interventions, mechanical circulatory support, and transcatheter aortic and mitral valve replacements (TAVR, TMVR), as well as procedures such as PFO/ASD closure, alcohol septal ablation, and MitraClip. He is affiliated with Yale Medicine and provides care for patients with complex cardiovascular conditions.
Dr. Davila earned his MD from the Central University of Venezuela, completed his Internal Medicine residency at Einstein Medical Center (where he served as Chief Medical Resident), and pursued fellowship training in Advanced Heart Failure/Transplant Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology at Tufts Medical Center. He further completed advanced training in structural heart interventions at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School. He was also a postdoctoral research fellow at NYU Langone Medical Center.
His research focuses on improving outcomes for patients with severe heart disease, particularly through the use of mechanical support and specialized interventional therapies for advanced heart failure. His work contributes to the growing field of minimally invasive cardiac treatments and complex hemodynamic management.
His scientific contributions include publications on cardiogenic shock, acute mechanical circulatory support, and structural interventions in advanced heart failure, reflecting a consistent focus on high-acuity cardiovascular care and innovative interventional strategies.
