Biography
 Pam R. Taub, MD, FACC, is a board-certified cardiologist who focuses on general and preventive cardiology. As a general cardiologist, she works with patients to diagnose and prevent heart disease, as well as manage conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary artery disease, or heart failure.Dr. Taub believes that prevention is the new frontier in cardiovascular medicine. She takes an evidence-based approach to care and tailors it to each patient, with the goal of minimizing medications and procedures. She also collaborates with other specialists to provide cardiac care for patients with complex, multi-system diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disease.


Dr. Taub believes in empowering and educating patients by sharing the latest advances in research and technology, and she enjoys speaking to the community about cardiovascular disease prevention. Her own research—focused on how epicatechin (a compound found in dark chocolate) can improve mitochondrial structure and exercise capacity in patients with heart failure and diabetes—has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Cardiology, and has resulted in multiple publications in top journals. She is also developing and testing new biomarkers (blood tests) to predict cardiovascular risk, as well as studying the mechanisms of statin-related muscle complaints and decreases in exercise capacity and using epicatechin to treat them. Dr. Taub earned her medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine. She completed her internal medicine residency at the University of Washington Medical Center and her fellowship in cardiology at UC San Diego, where she was chief cardiology fellow. She is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and nuclear cardiology.
