Dr. Grace Lin is an advanced heart failure cardiologist and echocardiographer at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. She is a Professor of Medicine and serves as Chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine.

She specializes in the diagnosis and management of advanced heart failure, with expertise spanning complex cardiovascular conditions including cardiac complications of cancer treatments, cardio-oncology, cardiac amyloidosis and treatment-resistant heart failure syndromes. Her clinical practice integrates advanced imaging and comprehensive care strategies to improve outcomes for patients with complex heart disease.

As a nationally recognized heart failure specialist and leader in cardiac amyloidosis research, Dr. Lin also cares for patients referred from throughout the Southeastern United States, the country and around the world for advanced cardiovascular evaluation and treatment. Her clinical expertise includes:

  • Advanced heart failure management, including complex and end-stage disease.
  • Cardiac amyloidosis.
  • Cardiac complication of cancer therapies (cardio-oncology).
  • Echocardiography and advanced cardiac imaging, including leadership in heart failure imaging and echo core laboratory research.
  • Non-invasive hemodynamic assessment and multimodality cardiac imaging.
  • Device-based and medical therapies for heart failure and circulatory failure.

Dr. Lin is a leader in innovative cardiovascular care delivery models, including cardiovascular care beyond walls and hemodynamic remote monitoring. She has implemented heart failure care delivery models focused on delivering in-home care, with the aim of reducing days in hospitals for patients with advanced heart failure.

Her expertise extends beyond clinical care into health policy and healthcare delivery innovation. She was awarded the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellowship and served for one year in the Congressional Budget Office.

Dr. Lin has an extensive research portfolio focused on improving diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment of cardiovascular disease, particularly in cardiac amyloidosis and heart failure. Her work includes:

  • Clinical trials and translational research in amyloid cardiomyopathy and heart failure therapies
  • Development of imaging strategies to identify high-risk patients and guide treatment decisions
  • Research on cardiovascular effects of cancer therapies and cardio-oncology
  • Innovations in digital health, remote monitoring, and AI-enabled cardiovascular care

"Heart failure care is not one-size-fits-all," says Dr. Lin. "My goal is to combine advanced diagnostics with innovative therapies to create individualized care plans that improve health and quality of life."

Dr. Lin is known for her thoughtful, comprehensive approach to patient care – combining deep expertise in heart failure, advanced heart failure therapies, echocardiography, and cardiac amyloidosis with a commitment to delivering personalized, evidence-based treatment. Her work ensures patients have access to leading-edge therapies and coordinated care across the full continuum of cardiovascular disease.

Outside of her clinical and academic work, Dr. Lin enjoys music, street photography and spending time with family. She is an avid traveler and enjoys trying new cuisines in different parts of the world.
