Cancer treatment can save a life and quietly strain the heart at the same time. Detecting that strain early, before traditional measures would flag it, is what Dr. Christos G. Mihos is leading the charge on at Mount Sinai Medical Center. A board-certified cardiologist trained at Mount Sinai and Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Mihos leads the Echocardiography & Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Laboratory across Miami Beach and South Florida locations. His team integrates an advanced imaging technique called global longitudinal strain into every stage of a patient’s cancer journey, catching subtle cardiac changes earlier and enabling timely coordination between oncology and cardiology teams. Dr. Mihos also served as lead author and committee co-chair of the first American Heart Association scientific statement on this imaging approach, published in Circulation—helping set a national standard for the field he practices every day.
