Roselle Abraham

MD

Director, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic
Cardiologist

Dr. Roselle Abraham is the director of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic, a designated Center of Excellence. She cares for adult patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition that causes heart muscle to thicken so that pumping blood becomes difficult.

Abraham is a physician scientist, meaning she is a medical doctor who devotes much of her time to research. Her background is in diagnostic imaging, stem cell research and electrophysiology (the study of the body's electrical activity). She uses various medical imaging technologies to help determine a patient's risk of heart rhythm disorders, with the goal of customizing therapies for individuals with HCM.

Abraham earned her medical degree at Goa Medical College & Hospital, where she completed a residency in internal medicine. She then completed a second residency in internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, followed by fellowships in cardiovascular diseases and clinical cardiac electrophysiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Abraham is a member of the American Heart Association and Heart Rhythm Society.

    Dr Abraham was wonderful took her time explaining what may be my diagnosis and what procedures will aid in a determination. She asked me to repeat my understanding of what she said. I feel so fortunate to have dr Abraham as part of my cardiology team.

    She is very insightful about complicated issues not necessarily related to cardiology.

    Dr. Abraham missed our appointment completely - not late - no contact at all.

    Was somewhat surprised with an exercise recommendation that differed from previous conversations. 3-5 times a week had been fine and actually complimented for keeping that up. This time I felt scolded for not doing intensive workouts 7 days a week. I will need to follow up for more information.

    Dr Abraham is incredibly involved in my well being - she saved my life!

    The provider laughed when reading the results from my heart holter test. I called them out on this. It's not acceptable from any professional let alone a physician.

    This was one of the best experiences I have had with any physician at UCSF.

    My complaints are about communication rather than quality of the visit.

    very good and thorough. Listened to me and my concerns
    Apr 18, 2021
    The nurse practitioner lead the discussion and was better than the doctor
    Apr 15, 2021
    Very good provider. Knowledgeable professional good communicator. Wish she had the results from my lipid panel EKG and echo with her...she didn't. The person who called me the day before to confirm the appointment said they had all that but she didn't. So I had to screen share my copy of those reports on the spot. Somewhere the wheels fell off
