Anjili Srivastava, DO, is a fellowship-trained cardiologist with the MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital. She is board certified in echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, and internal medicine.

Dr. Srivastava sees patients with a wide spectrum of cardiovascular disease—coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, hypertension, lipid abnormalities and heart rhythm disorders. She is particularly interested in primary cardiovascular prevention, lipidology and women’s cardiovascular health–understanding that heart disease may present differently in women.

She enjoys establishing relationships with each of her patients and having an open dialogue about their care. Developing rapport leads to greater success in her patients taking a more active role in their own care and their treatment plan. She also values the relationship with referring physicians and sees them as playing a key role in the coordinated care of shared patients.

Dr. Srivastava chose the field of cardiology because she finds it to be the most interesting specialty due to the wide range of disease processes, and the constantly evolving nature of the practice.
