Nilay Shah, MD, MPH, FAHA is a physician-scientist, Assistant Professor of Cardiology and Preventive Medicine, and general and preventive cardiologist in the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Shah's research program focuses on cardiometabolic health and cardiovascular disease prevention earlier in the life course, working toward evidence-based CVD primordial prevention. One theme of his research is to investigate cardiovascular health and risk factors before, during, and after pregnancy, and how adverse pregnancy outcomes contribute to long-term cardiovascular risk, especially among populations that experience health disparities. Overarching goals of Dr. Shah's research group are to identify, adapt, implement, and scale effective CVD prevention strategies with particular attention to earlier-life CVD prevention approaches and cardiovascular health promotion among young adults. This work leverages tools in cohort and surveillance epidemiology, clinical and behavioral intervention trials, implementation science, and community engagement, and emphasizes health promotion in pursuit of equitable prevention of CVD for all.
