Boston cardiologists leaving for Miami
Two prominent Boston cardiologists are heading south to the University of Miami, theheart.org reports today.
Dr. Vivek Y. Reddy (left), director of the experimental electrophysiology program at Massachusetts General Hospital, will lead an expanded program at the University of Miami, according to the cardiology news site of WebMD and a university statement.
"I'm going from a great job to a great job, that's what it comes down to," Reddy told theheart.org.
Dr. Andre d'Avila, another specialist in abnormal heart rhythms, is also leaving Mass. General to become associate director of the electrophysiology section.
Two other electrophysiologists who trained in Boston will join Reddy's team. One is Dr. Srinivas Dukkipati, who trained at Mass. General before heading to the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich., and Dr. Kyoko Soejima, who trained at Brigham and Women's Hospital before moving to the Institute of Advanced Cardiac Therapy in Tokyo.
