USA Health Hires Grazette As Division Chief of Cardiology

Dr. Luanda Grazette, a distinguished physician-scientist, educator and leader in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology, recently joined USA Health as its new division chief of cardiology. With a career that spans academic medicine, clinical trials and biopharmaceutical innovation, she brings clinical expertise, research accomplishments and visionary leadership to her new role. A native of Docena, a small town outside Birmingham, Grazette said her early experiences shaped her deep commitment to improving the lives of patients affected by heart failure—one of the most common and debilitating chronic conditions among adults over 55. Grazette earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and completed both medical school and a master’s in public health administration at Harvard University. She finished her internal medicine residency at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston, followed by a fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at Emory University in Atlanta. She returned to MGH for advanced training in heart failure and transplantation. The Whiddon College of Medicine professor is board-certified in cardiovascular disease and advanced heart failure and transplantation by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Grazette has experience treating congestive heart failure, amyloidosis, peripartum and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, advanced heart failure and transplantation, arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, heart attack and more. She is accepting new patients at the USA Health Cardiology clinic at 6300 USA Health Boulevard, second floor, in Mobile.
