The Department of Medicine is delighted to announce the recruitment of Dr. Annabel Chen-Tournoux to the Jewish General Hospital Division of Cardiology. Dr. Chen-Tournoux obtained her MD at Harvard University, followed by Internal Medicine and Cardiology residencies at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Chen-Tournoux worked for three years in Paris as a Senior Program Office for the Leducq Foundation, a private endowment-based foundation supporting research and the development of new technology in cardiac and neurovascular sciences. She continues to work with the Foundation as a Consultant.
Dr. Chen-Tournoux is an expert in echocardiography and in particular strain-based imaging, as well as in cardiometabolic diseases.
