About Me

Salaheldin "Salah" Abusin, MD, is a general cardiologist at Rush. He earned his medical degree at the University of Medical Sciences and Technology, Sudan, and completed his residency in internal medicine at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County. He also completed his fellowship in cardiovascular disease at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.

 

Abusin works with patients to treat common heart conditions. This includes preventing and controlling risks for coronary artery disease and identifying causes, controlling symptoms and preventing complications of congestive heart failure. He also interprets transthoracic echocardiography tests and performs transesophageal echocardiography. Another of his important roles is to coordinate patient care with other heart and vascular care specialists when needed.

 

Abusin firmly believes in the value of shared decision-making in the patient-physician relationship. His philosophy is that care plans should be customized to each patient's goals and how they want to be treated.

 

 “I want to make sure that the patient is comfortable having the discussion of their condition, making sure that they're receptive to the information that I will give them,” he says. “I would focus on making sure that the information I give them is easy to understand. It helps empower them to make the right decision.”

 

 In his free time, Abusin enjoys riding his bike, exploring new trails and taking pictures of nature.
