Biography

Dr. Sadeer Al-Kindi received his MD from Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar. He went on to complete his residency in internal medicine, fellowships in cardiovascular medicine and cardiovascular imaging at University Hospitals – Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. He then served as the co-director for the cardiometabolic center and a staff cardiologist at University Hospitals. In 2023, Dr Al-Kindi moved to Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center.

Clinically, Dr. Al-Kindi serves as a preventive and an imaging cardiologist at the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center, where he is the associate director for the division of cardiovascular prevention and wellness and a member of the cardiovascular imaging faculty at Houston Methodist. Dr Al-Kindi uses advanced imaging to guide therapeutic interventions to reduce risk.

Description of Research

Dr. Al-Kindi is an active clinical and translational researcher, with over 200 peer-reviewed publications in top journals such as Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Circulation, European Heart Journal, and JAMA Cardiology. His research has focused on understanding the underpinnings of cardiovascular disease and novel methods to identify risk and precision cardiovascular prevention. He also focuses on environmental determinants of cardiovascular disease, social determinants of health, cardiometabolic disease, and advanced cardiovascular imaging. He is the associate director for the center for cardiovascular computational and precision health (C3PH) at DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center.

Dr. Al-Kindi serves on the editorial board member for several cardiology journals. He has served as a reviewer for many top medical journals including Circulation, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Lancet, and JAMA Cardiology.
