Specialty Interests: Dr. Finet specializes in all Heart Failure syndromes, arising from both acquired and familial cardiomyopathies; predominantly management of Advanced Heart Failure, including Mechanical Circulatory Support and Heart Transplantation. Dr. Finet also specializes in other complex cardiovascular conditions such as Cardiac Amyloidosis, Cardiac Sarcoidosis, Pulmonary Hypertension, and the cardiovascular care of Cancer patients and Cancer survivors.  

Number of Patients Treated and Procedures Performed: Dr. Finet cares for over a thousand patients each year, both in the inpatient and outpatient settings. He also performs hundreds of hemodynamic catheterizations and endomyocardial biopsies annually and interprets a similar number of both invasive and non-invasive metabolic exercise tests.

He completed the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Physician-Scientist Pathway program at Case Western Reserve University, clinically training in both Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease. His research training was focused on gene therapy for cardiac arrhythmias, using large animal models of Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure. He served as chief cardiology fellow, and subsequently completed an Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology fellowship at Duke University. Following completion of his clinical training, Dr. Finet joined the Advanced Heart Failure program at IU Health Methodist Hospital, where he promoted the development of the IU Health Cardio-Oncology program. He was recruited to Cleveland Clinic in 2018, where he now serves as Medical Director of the HVTI Metabolic Exercise Testing Center at Cleveland Clinic. 

Research, Publications and Speaking: Dr. Finet is very active in clinical and outcomes research, in the areas of Metabolic Exercise Testing, Heart Failure, Pulmonary Hypertension, Heart Transplantation, Mechanical Circulatory Support, and Cardio-Oncology. His research is focused on the evaluation of hemodynamic and metabolic disease conditions leading to exercise intolerance and idiopathic dyspnea, as well as risk prediction in cardiovascular disease. Since 2014 he has served as principal or co-principal site investigator on several national clinical trials in these areas. Dr. Finet has received funding for investigating the cardiovascular impact of contemporary cancer therapies and has been an invited presenter at numerous academic medical meetings. In addition, he has published several original articles, review articles, and book chapters in his areas of expertise.

About Dr. Finet: It is extremely rewarding and a great honor to be a physician. I particularly enjoy listening to my patients; educating, guiding and supporting their efforts to live better and longer lives. I am committed to promote their cardiovascular health with knowledgeable and compassionate care.

Leisure Activities: In his leisure time, Dr. Finet delights in spending as much time as possible with his family and friends. He also enjoys studying biblical theology, philosophy, and apologetics, playing chess and go, fishing, listening to music, modernist cuisine, judo, and is an active member of his local church.
