<p>Mark I. Travin, MD, FACC, MASNC, is Director of Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine at Montefiore. He is also a Professor of Radiology and Medicine at our Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His clinical focus is on cardiac stress testing, radionuclide myocardial (perfusion and metabolic) imaging, and quantitative blood flow.</p><p>Dr. Travin earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in 1979 at Yale College, followed by his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1983 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. After graduating, he went on to complete both an internship and a residency in medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital. In 1986, Dr. Travin began a fellowship in cardiology at the Brown University Integrated Fellowship Program. After that, he went on to complete a clinical and research fellowship in medicine and cardiology, with emphasis in nuclear cardiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. </p><p>Dr. Travin?s research focus is on cardiac innervation radionuclide imaging with I-123 mIBG and analogous PET tracers, and quantitative blood flow assessment with myocardial perfusion PET. He has a significant body of published research on cardiac imaging, and has received numerous awards and honors, including the Cardiology Program Director?s Training Award, and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology 2015 Zaret-Beller Distinguished Journal of Nuclear Cardiology Service Award. </p>
<p>My major interests are teaching cardiology to trainees of all levels, as well as researching different teaching techniques. Areas of clinical expertise are congestive heart failure and echocardiography. </p>
<p>Jim Tauras, MD, FACC, is a cardiologist, Assistant Professor, Medicine and
Course Director,Cardiovascular Diseases Physiology and Pathophysiology at
Montefiore Einstein. Dr. Tauras’ major clinical interests include critical
care cardiology, congestive heart failure and cardiac amyloidosis.
</p><p>After obtaining his Bachelor of Science in biological engineering from Cornell
University in 1995, Dr. Tauras earned his Doctor of Medicine at Weill Cornell
Medical College in 2003. He then came to Montefiore Einstein to complete an
internal medicine internship in 2004, an internal medicine residency in 2006
and a cardiology fellowship in 2009.
</p><p>Dr. Tauras has been site principal investigator for multiple national and
international clinical trials regarding novel therapeutics for acute heart
failure and cardiac amyloidosis. His work has been published in numerous
peer-reviewed journals, books, chapters, review articles and abstracts, and he
has given several invited presentations.
</p><p>Dr. Tauras is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in
Cardiovascular Diseases. He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology.

<p>Nicole Jampol Sutton, MD, is Division Chief, Pediatric Cardiology, Director, Invasive Cardiology, Director, Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Program, and Interim Codirector, Pediatric Heart Center at Children’s Hospital at Montefiore. She is also an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Montefiore-Einstein. Dr. Sutton’s clinical focus is on congenital heart disease, pediatric interventional cardiology, pediatric pulmonary hypertension and adult congenital heart disease.</p><p>After receiving her Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University in 1994, Dr. Sutton attended New York University Medical School, earning her Doctor of Medicine in 1998. She began her postdoctoral training with a three-year pediatric residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital, which she completed in 2001. She followed this with a cardiology fellowship at Boston Children’s Hospital, acting as Chief Cardiology Fellow in 2004 and Senior Catheterization Fellow in 2005.</p><p>Dr. Sutton’s research focuses on improving interventional techniques and on quality improvement in the cardiac catheterization lab, including radiation safety. She is also involved in several clinical trials of medications for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Her work has been published in many peer-reviewed journals, books and abstracts. Dr. Sutton is a reviewer for several journals including the <em>American Journal of Cardiology</em>, <em>Pediatric Cardiology</em> and <em>Cardiology in the Young</em>.</p><p>Dr. Sutton is board certified in pediatrics, pediatric cardiology and adult congenital heart disease. She is a member of several professional societies including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Cardiology and the Society of Cardiac Angiography and Intervention. In 2005, she was winner of the poster competition in clinical science at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. </p>
