About

Dr. Vedant A. Gupta received a bachelor’s degree in economics from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and received his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He completed his internal medicine residency with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. This was followed by a chief residency year in internal medicine at Cleveland Clinic, during which he helped train other residents.

In 2013, Gupta came to UK to complete an internal medicine cardiology fellowship. He then completed a yearlong fellowship at UK in advanced cardiac imaging and received training in cardiac MRI and cardiac CTA.

Gupta practices general cardiology at UK and is an attending physician. He is particularly interested in helping critically ill patients and in the application of advanced imaging techniques in critical and complex cases.

Gupta is also an assistant professor of cardiology in the UK College of Medicine and is associate program director for UK’s General Cardiology Fellowship Program.

His research examines how to improve systems of care to better help all types of patients, specifically around cardiac risks and non-cardiac conditions. Through his research, Gupta is working on systems-based improvement to identify and provide better care for non-cardiac patients who would benefit from additional heart-related testing and treatment.

“When people come in for different surgeries, different procedures or come in with infections, we’re learning to appreciate that there’s more and more risk to their heart, even if their heart wasn’t the reason they came in,” Gupta says. “Understanding that, being able to identify the patients who would benefit from additional testing and treatment, that’s what I do most of my research on.”

Personal Statement

My goal is to take the best care of my patients both now and in the future. The reason I’m engaged in educational activities and why I do research is to help take care of patients better tomorrow than we do today. That involves training physicians who will be there tomorrow but also understanding disease states and different conditions.

    Dr Gupta was very thorough in all areas of his exam. He explained items of my care in terms easy to understand. He was patient and I felt he was very concerned for my health issue and maintenance. I would highly recommend him.

    After playing rugby and working with racehorses, I'm lucky to have not been in very many medical facilities. But I have been to UK, and I have taken family members there and have always been satisfied with the care provided.

    Great Doctor! I was in UK's ER. I got no answers and the the doctors were clock watchers! They constantly checked their watches and at end of shift the we're gone! No explanation! The next young doctor same as the first. They have no bedside manner or compassion! I miss the older docs!

      We learned more about the progress of the healing. Patients heart is a success but he needs more care and will continue with the UK Hospital and the team of awesome doctors. Dr. Gupta explained the future plans and how all doctors are working as a team for the best timing and outcome of patients next pending surgery. I am very pleased with the expertise and care of the whole heart team.

      Dr. Gupta is unlike many other physicians. He sat down and listened to my concerns, explained things very well and stuck around for follow up questions. He actually took time with me instead of trying to rush out of the room. Also, he has a very positive attitude.

      Since this heart condition is new to me, I had plenty of questions and everyone from the nurse aides to the cardiac and kidney drs answered them all. If they weren't sure about something they asked someone else. I couldn't have been in better hands than at UofK

      Only negative comment is that my cardiologist was not available for this visit and no one bothered to tell me ahead of time. Not a critical visit, but had it been I would not have been pleased with this. No continuity of care this way.
