Amar Shere, MD, FACC

General & preventive cardiologist at Hackensack Meridian Health; cardiovascular fellowship instructor at Hackensack University School of Medicine  

Cardiovascular disease kills South Asians earlier, more aggressively and at lower traditional risk thresholds than most other population groups. They are often failed by standard prevention playbooks, which tend to be designed around Western European population averages. Dr. Amar Shere has decided this is not acceptable. 

Amar practices at the intersection of clinical medicine and culturally competent prevention. He has built a South Asian heart health coaching program that integrates biomarker-driven risk stratification with structured lifestyle medicine and digital engagement. The result is an entrepreneurial model designed to serve a population whose cardiovascular risk is consistently underestimated by standard screening tools. 

Beyond his clinical and program work, Dr. Shere has built a significant digital health education platform, drawing a following of more than 125,000 across social media channels and features in Business Insider, Yahoo News and Men’s Health. His content translates evidence-based cardiovascular prevention into accessible guidance. Meanwhile his personal story of health transformation gives his guidance an authenticity that resonates with the patients he is trying to reach. 

Dr. Amar Shere daily performs to the top of his license across clinical care, medical education, community prevention and digital health. At 37, he is redefining what a preventive cardiologist’s reach can look like.
