Samuel Reinhardt, MD, is a board-certified cardiologist specializing in cardiac imaging and preventive cardiology. Dr. Reinhardt uses advanced imaging techniques, including echocardiography, cardiac CT (computed tomography) and cardiac MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), to capture detailed pictures of the heart and its function and guide care for a wide range of heart and vascular conditions. Dr. Reinhardt has a particular interest in using his cardiac imaging expertise to help understand and treat patients with valvular heart disease, or heart valve problems. Separate from imaging, he also committed to preventive cardiology, helping patients make proactive lifestyle and medication choices to improve their heart health before problems arise.
Dr. Reinhardt works with patients to both treat existing conditions and protect long-term heart health. His goal is to ensure patients receive not only accurate diagnoses but also the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their care. Known for his thoughtful, patent-centered style, Dr. Reinhardt takes time to explain test results and treatment options in ways that are easy to understand. He partners closely with patients, ensuring they feel supported and involved throughout their healthcare journey.
In addition to patient care, Dr. Reinhardt is actively involved in research to improve heart valve treatments, improve treatment of patients receiving structural heart procedures (including the Watchman left atrial appendage occlude device), and advance imaging techniques. His work is helping shape the future of cardiac care and supports better outcomes for patients everywhere. His work has been published in several respected, peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Journal of the American College of Cardiology Cardiovascular Imaging, Circulation Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography and Journal of the American Heart Association.

These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
