Background

Anirban Banerjee, MD, is a board-certified attending cardiologist with the Cardiac Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He earned his medical degree at the University of Calcutta in India and completed his training in pediatric cardiology at the University of California, San Francisco.

Dr. Banerjee really enjoys working with children and cites “compassion” as a primary tenet of his philosophy of care. He goes on to say, “this should be supported by three pillars: strong clinical skills, modern medical technology, and excellent medical knowledge.”

His personal knowledge is fed through a deep fascination with the intricacies of the heart. “I find complex anatomy and physiology very stimulating,” he says. “My research is in cardiac function (or squeezing action of the heart) and 3D echocardiography (a form of cardiac ultrasound). I am particularly interested in understanding the twisting action of the heart, known as torsion and in the measurement of principal strain (a new concept that evaluates the function of muscle fibers of the heart).”

In addition to his personal research, Dr. Banerjee is a reviewer for the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, the American Journal of Cardiology, JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, and the International Journal of Cardiology.

Over the next five years, Dr. Banerjee sees artificial intelligence driving dramatic changes to his field. “Many things done by doctors today,” he says, “will also be done by machines.” This includes a larger role in the prediction of heart disease outcomes and cardiac events.
