About Christopher Newton-Cheh, MD, MPH
Dr. Christopher Newton-Cheh is a cardiologist seeing advanced heart failure patients and a cardiovascular geneticist evaluating patients with cardiomyopathy. He has an active laboratory conducting research on the root causes of heart failure, arrhythmias and hypertension.
Dr. Newton-Cheh is a cardiologist in the Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant section and the Cardiovascular Genetics Program of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cardiology Division and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Newton-Cheh is a faculty member of the Center for Genomic Medicine and the Cardiovascular Research Center. He is a complex trait geneticist and cardiovascular epidemiologist. The Newton-Cheh laboratory is focused on the study of hypertension, arrhythmias and heart failure. They are leveraging the growth of human genetics to identify DNA sequence variants that contribute to these common diseases, to translate these genetic findings to an improved understanding of human physiology through patient-oriented research and to define the role of genetic variants, alongside other clinical risk factors, in risk prediction at the population level.

Research
Dr. Newton-Cheh is faculty member of the Center for Genomic Medicine and the Cardiovascular Research Center. Dr. Newton-Cheh is a complex trait geneticist and cardiovascular epidemiologist. The Newton-Cheh laboratory is focused on the study of hypertension, arrhythmias and heart failure. We are leveraging the growth of human genetics to identify novel drug targets and the causes of drug toxicity and to improve prediction of cardiovascular risk in individual patients.
