The team of physicians at Penn Medicine’s Heart and Vascular Center is dedicated to getting patients back to the life they want to live. With the region’s largest cardiac arrhythmia, valve disease, vascular surgery, heart failure, and heart transplant programs, they are committed to delivering more options, more personalized care, and more convenient care close to home. They are also home to the Cardiovascular Research Institute where Penn researchers are relentlessly pursuing new advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart and vascular conditions.

In regards to his educational background, Dr. Ortega-Legaspi graduated with his medical degree and Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
