About

Mohammed Najeeb Osman, MD, DM, FACC, FHRS, FSCAI, is a highly accomplished cardiologist and Medical Director of University Hospitals Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute services in Ashtabula County, Ohio. He has extensive experience in interventional cardiology, clinical cardiac electrophysiology, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology. Dr. Osman also has a joint appointment at Louis Stokes Cleveland Veteran Affairs Medical Center.

Dr. Osman earned his medical degree as the Best Outgoing Student from TD Medical College, University of Kerala in India. His postdoctoral training included an internal medicine residency at Trivandrum Medical College, then fellowship training in cardiology at the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute, where he conducted initial Doppler echocardiographic evaluations of the indigenous Chitra mechanical heart valve. He earned his DM degree in cardiology and joined Apollo Hospitals Chennai, India in 1995, where he was instrumental in streamlining primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with the newly available platelet Gp 2b/3a inhibitor abciximab. He was at the forefront of introducing many new cardiovascular treatment modalities in India, including transcatheter alcohol ablation of septal hypertrophy (TASH) in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, the first intermediate term follow up of a group of patients published in 2001. He implanted the first defibrillator in South India in 1997 and also established an electrophysiology lab in Apollo Hospitals in 2001, starting with an international workshop on CARTO 3D anatomic mapping.

After moving to the United States in 2002, Dr. Osman pursued subspecialty fellowship training in clinical cardiac electrophysiology, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center. He is one of the earliest in the country to use temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for the right ventricle, using Impella-RP in June 2015. He has championed introducing several newer programs at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center including destination left ventricular assist device (LVAD), complex ablations of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, laser lead extractions, cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) device, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), MitraClip and left atrial appendage occlusion (Watchman). He is a national trainer for CardioMEMS pulmonary artery pressure sensor implantation, which helps manage heart failure patients remotely, preventing unnecessary hospitalizations.

Dr. Osman is a uniquely certified cardiologist, with certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in all subspecialties of cardiology, including cardiovascular disease, clinical cardiac electrophysiology, interventional cardiology, adult congenital heart disease, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology. He has been selected by ABIM as a member of the Examination Standard Setting Panel.

Dr. Osman is a passionate teacher and has been awarded Teacher of the Year. He has mentored many students and fellows throughout his career. He is a fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), Heart Rhythm Society (FHRS) and Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (FSCAI). Dr. Osman has published many articles encompassing various cardiology disciplines in prestigious journals including Heart Rhythm, Catheterization & Cardiovascular Interventions, Journal of the American College of Cardiology - Cardiovascular Interventions and European Journal of Heart Failure.
