About Joseph Rossano, MD, MS, FAAP, FACC
Joseph Rossano, MD, loves rising to meet a challenge, and he is dedicated to helping children — that’s why he went into pediatric cardiology.
“Cardiovascular disorders in children can be among the most complex and challenging to treat, and I went into the field to be able to help these children survive and thrive,” Dr. Rossano says.
Dr. Rossano is Chief of the Division of Cardiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He is also an Attending Physician in the Cardiac Center and the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and a Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
“As a clinician, I mostly treat patients with cardiomyopathies (heart muscle diseases), patients who develop advanced heart failure and those who need a heart transplantation,” Dr. Rossano says. “These are complex disorders, and working with our outstanding team here at CHOP and our incredible families is tremendously rewarding.”
A graduate of the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Dr. Rossano won several awards for academic achievement during medical school. He completed his internship and residency at Seattle Children’s Hospital (formerly Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center), followed by three fellowships at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital. He was trained in pediatric cardiology, heart failure transplantation, and cardiac intensive care.
Dr. Rossano came to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in 2011 to help manage the Hospital’s busy heart failure, transplant and cardiac mechanical support programs; train residents and fellows; and conduct research on the epidemiology and outcomes of heart disease in children.
Dr. Rossano is principal investigator or co-investigator on several ongoing research studies. This research includes investigating the use of ventricular assist devices and artificial hearts in children, studying the effectiveness of post-transplant treatments for children who have received heart transplants, an observational study of children with heart failure, and building a registry of pediatric heart transplant patients that aims to further the knowledge of pediatric heart disease and transplantation.
“Our group has an active research program ranging from understanding the fundamental nature of diseases to testing new therapies to evaluating drivers of outcomes and costs,” Dr. Rossano says.
Dr. Rossano has made dozens of presentations at meetings around the world and published over 150 manuscripts in journals such as Circulation, The Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.
Spreading the word about new advances and techniques is part of Dr. Rossano’s commitment to improving outcomes for children with heart disease everywhere. A frequent guest lecturer, he has spoken at children’s hospitals and medical schools across the country on topics ranging from advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation to postoperative care of patients with ventricular assist devices to heart failure in infants.
As for families whose children are treated at CHOP, Dr. Rossano’s message is this: “We have a large, diverse, and dedicated team that is focused on achieving the best possible outcome for your child.”
Dr. Rossano's career has been dedicated to improving the lives of children with cardiovascular diseases, in our local and global communities. The Cardiac Center has partnered with cardiac programs around the world including having close ties with programs in Bratislava, Faridabad, and Gaborone.
