About me
Tamara Ashvetiya, MD, is a general cardiologist at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center. She is board certified in cardiovascular disease, internal medicine, echocardiography, and nuclear medicine.
Dr. Ashvetiya sees patients with a wide range of cardiovascular disease diagnoses. She is particularly focused on preventative cardiology, including the prevention of recurring cardiac events. She also has a special interest in the long-term treatment of patients with heart failure, ischemic heart disease, peripartum cardiomyopathy, and valvular heart disease. Dr. Ashvetiya received her medical degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and subsequently completed internal medicine residency at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, followed by cardiology fellowship at University of Maryland Medical Center. Specialized in non-invasive treatment, she performs diagnostic procedures such as echocardiography, cardioversion, heart rhythm monitoring, cardiac MRI and CT, as well as stress testing to diagnose and treat a broad range of cardiovascular conditions.
Quality patient care and communication is Dr. Ashvetiya's top clinical priority. Dr. Ashvetiya believes in the holistic treatment of people— treating them as unique individuals and partnering with them to create customized care plans. In her practice, she applies medical evidence and guideline-based care to suit each person’s life and goals.
Dr. Ashvetiya has engaged in research analyzing the genetics of cardiovascular disease including aneurysm formation, and has an academic interest in cardiac applications of stem cell therapy. Her work has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals. Awards won by Dr. Ashvetiya include the Nathan Carliner Award for Distinction in Cardiovascular Research, the American College of Physicians Award for Excellence in Basic Science Research, and the Paul Ehrlich Award for distinction in translational research awarded at the Johns Hopkins University Young Investigators' Day.
