About Me
Ijeoma Ezeife, MD is a fellowship-trained non-invasive cardiologist with the MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital and MedStar Union Memorial Hospital. Her clinical interests include valvular heart disease, preventive cardiology, women’s cardiovascular health, and heart failure treatment.
Dr. Ezeife provides comprehensive cardiology care for patients who are at high risk for, or who recently experienced heart failure. Dr. Ezeife advocates for heart disease prevention, offering education, guidance, and intervention to help patients understand their diagnoses and the steps they can take to improve their heart health.
A native of Nigeria, Dr. Ezeife committed to a career in medicine at a very young age. She saw an opportunity to personally make a positive difference in her country and in the world, with the prevalence of heart disease on the rise.
She thrives working in the fast-paced hospital environment and takes pride in the role she plays as patients are diagnosed, treated, and recovering from life threatening health issues.
