Paul Joseph Scheel III, MD

Faisal Rahman, BMBCh, FACC, FSCAI, is an interventional structural cardiologist at Johns Hopkins. He is an assistant professor with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and serves as the Co-Medical Director of the Catheterization Laboratory at Frederick Health Hospital.Dr. Rahman has specific interest and expertise in the management of coronary artery disease, including complex coronary interventions, as well as ultra-low contrast percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with kidney disease. He also specializes in the management of structural heart disease, including valvular disease with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI/TAVR), transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER including MitraClip), transcatheter mitral valve replacement; select adult congenital defects such as patent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD); and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using alcohol septal ablation. He is also an expert in critically ill patients including cardiogenic shock and established the Johns Hopkins Medicine Cardiogenic Shock Team. After receiving his medical degree from the University of Oxford, Dr. Rahman completed a residency in internal medicine at Boston University Medical Center where he held the title of Chief Medical Resident. He then completed fellowships in cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology and structural cardiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.Dr. Rahman has contributed to numerous research publications, article reviews, book chapters and editorials. He has also served on multiple national committees as well as major professional medical societies. He has a strong interest in quality improvement, healthcare efficiency, and system development focusing on patient outcomes and providing quality care.

Jonathan Chrispin, M.D., is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Division of Cardiology, Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia, as well as an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Chrispin focuses on all aspects of clinical electrophysiology, including pacemaker/defibrillator implantation and complex catheter ablation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Dr. Chrispin received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Vanderbilt University. He completed intern and residency training in internal medicine at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he also completed a fellowship in cardiovascular disease and served as chief clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellow. He is a member of the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Rhythm Society. Dr. Chrispin directs the Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation and Research program, focusing on using advanced cardiac imaging to better understand the structural substrate associated with the development of ventricular arrhythmias and using artificial intelligence to improve the risk stratification of sudden cardiac death. Further, he is involved in developing clinical trials to improve the safety and efficacy of catheter ablation for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia. His work has led to Dr. Chrispin publishing in a number of international journals, including Circulation, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Heart Rhythm Journal, Nature Cardiovascular Research, Journal of the American Heart Association, and EP Europace.
