SYRACUSE, N.Y.— The St. Joseph’s Health Cardiovascular Institute is pleased to welcome Ghenekaro Esin, M.D., to its cardiology offices in East Syracuse and Fayetteville. 

 

Dr. Esin received her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and went on to earn her Medical Degree at Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee. While receiving her degrees, Dr. Esin served as a medical student tutor and mentoring chair and president of the Yale Minority Housestaff Organization.

 

“I have a strong belief in the importance of volunteering and using your talents to help others,” said Dr. Esin. “It’s part of why I decided to become a physician. My goal is to provide compassionate, comprehensive cardiovascular care while helping patients take an active role in their heart health. I’m thrilled to be in the Northeast and I'm looking forward to making new and lasting connections with patients and colleagues at St. Joseph's."

 

Following graduation, Dr. Esin completed a residency and internship in Internal Medicine, as well as a Cardiovascular Medicine Clinical Fellowship, at Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut. In 2023, she was a member of the Yale cardiology team that won the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology National Quality Improvement Challenge for their digital clinical decision support tool (Stressing Wisely) designed to assist physicians in selecting the most appropriate tests for evaluating cardiovascular disease.

 

Dr. Esin is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease.   

 

She is a co-author of Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) abstracts and peer-reviewed manuscripts on several aspects of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) which is a particular type of heart attack that happens without significant blockages in the arteries.

 

Dr. Esin recently got married and moved to the area with her husband who is a physician at the Wynn Hospital in Utica. Their hobbies include traveling and trying out new restaurants, and they hope to get into some winter activities now that they are Upstate.
