Research Interest
Dr. Harinstein's areas of interest include cardio-oncology, acute heart failure syndromes, transcatheter aortic valve replacement outcomes, assessment of right ventricular function in liver transplant candidates, cardiac risk assessment of solid organ transplant candidates, clinical trials studying new pharmacologic agents, and assessment of mechanical dyssynchrony with gated SPECT. He also is a reviewer and member of the editorial board of American Journal of Cardiology.
Clinical Interest
Dr. Harinstein spends his clinical time at UPMC McKeesport, UPMC Shadyside and UPMC Presbyterian hospitals. He cares for patients with all aspects of cardiovascular disease. He has a special emphasis on non-invasive imaging including echocardiography (transthoracic, transesophageal, and stress) and nuclear cardiology. He is leading the development of the UPMC Center for Cardio-Oncology and is also a member of the structural heart group/transcatheter aortic valve replacement team specializing in imaging of structural heart disease with a particular emphasis on transcatheter valve replacement and three-dimensional imaging techniques. He is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiovascular computed tomography and is a registered physician of vascular interpretation.
