Biography
I am a non-invasive cardiologist, professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, director of the Lipid Clinics and section director of Preventative Cardiology and Women's Cardiovascular Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I specialize in women's cardiovascular health, prevention and cardiac imaging. I am an avid promoter, educator and media spokesperson on both prevention and women's cardiovascular health.
My clinical and research interests include obstructive and non-obstructive coronary artery disease in women. In addition to my clinical research, I have published a number of peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. I served as the first female president of the Ohio chapter of the American College of Cardiology and am a member of several committees within the organization.
I previously served as president of the metro Columbus Board of Directors for the American Heart Association (AHA) and as a member of their Great Rivers Affiliate Board and am currently the chair of the AHA's Cardiovascular Disease in Women and Special Populations Committee.
Additionally, I chaired the American Heart Association's first ever scientific statement on acute myocardial infarction in women as well as their first statement on breast cancer and cardiovascular disease.

This visit was to establish care with a new physician. She listened well and I felt like she was really thinking about my complex history and next steps.
Dr Mehta was very patient and appeared to have reviewed my file prior to the visit so she was very responsive to my questions and concerns
Genuine concern re: my medical condition. Offered shared decision making.
Very thoughtful and showed concern for my issues
Good
I have been with Dr. Metha for many years and we have a great relationship. I asked that she listen to me and give it to me straight. I respect her and her skills, and I feel the respect is reciprocated. That is very important to me.
Dr. Mehta is both highly skillful and compassionate. She always asks about and addresses any concerns I have. When she found a possible abnormality on my examination, she immediately ordered an ECG. The ECG ruled out problems. Having that immediate reassurance was great.
