Fatima Rodriguez
Associate Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
BioFatima Rodriguez, MD, MPH serves as the Vice Chair of Clinical Research (Department of Medicine), Section Chief of Preventive Cardiology, and Associate Director of the Center for Digital Health at Stanford University. She received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School and a Master of Public Health from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Rodriguez completed her internal medicine residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at Stanford.
Dr. Rodriguez specializes in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease, with clinical expertise in coronary artery disease and inherited lipid disorders. Her research focuses on cardiovascular disease prevention and health promotion, leveraging digital tools to improve guideline-based care, and using AI-enabled approaches for early detection of atherosclerosis. -
Albert "A.J." Rogers, MD, MBA, FAHA
Instructor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Rogers is a board-certified, fellowship-trained cardiologist with the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service at Stanford Health Care. He is also an instructor of medicine in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine.
As a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist, Dr. Rogers’ training includes evaluating issues involving electrical activity in the heart and how these can lead to an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia). His expertise includes mapping regions in the heart associated with arrhythmias and then applying a minimally invasive therapy (ablation) that targets the responsible areas causing the problem. He also performs procedures to implant cardiac devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators, designed to synchronize heart contractions and reset irregular heartbeats.
Dr. Rogers specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and other arrhythmias. In collaboration with Stanford Medicine cardiovascular surgeons, he performs hybrid surgical-catheter ablation procedures as a more permanent treatment for persistent forms of atrial fibrillation and for inappropriate sinus tachycardia. During this procedure, ablation therapy is applied to areas both inside and outside of the heart responsible for the arrhythmia.
As a physician-researcher, Dr. Rogers’ translational research applies biomedical engineering and machine learning approaches to explore the mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmia. These efforts include research funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association to investigate novel methods for diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. Dr. Rogers has over 10 years of experience with medical technology innovation and development.
Dr. Rogers serves as associate editor of the Journal of Invasive Cardiovascular Electrophysiology. He is also a peer reviewer for multiple prestigious journals, including Heart Rhythm, The Lancet: Digital Health, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology, and Frontiers in Physiology. He has been an invited guest speaker at national and international meetings, including those for the American Heart Association and the European Cardiac Arrythmia Society. -

Ryan Sandoval, M.D.
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
BioDr. Sandoval is a board-certified cardiologist and a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. He completed his residency at the University of Texas at Austin, where he continued on as chief resident before going on to complete his fellowship in cardiovascular disease at the Medical University of South Carolina. Prior to his residency, he completed a research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
His clinical interests include preventive cardiology and management of heart failure. He is particularly focused on treating patients with the complex clinical syndrome of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
His interest in preventive cardiology grew through his participation in clinics for the uninsured and underinsured during his training. These experiences fostered his passion for understanding and addressing health care disparities. He is deeply committed to providing exceptional patient care with a personalized approach to treatment and improving the lives of his patients.
He is a member of the American College of Cardiology. -

Joshua M. Spin
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Spin began his research career studying the structural biology of low density lipoprotein, and has had intensive training in molecular biology techniques, particularly high-throughput genetic expression profiling. He is especially interested in vascular smooth muscle cells, and the role of smooth muscle differentiation and phenotypic switching in development, and in vascular disease. His latest work has focused on the biology of aortic aneurysms.
