About Me
A career built entirely around the heart
I'm Linda Kashiwabara, a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years dedicated exclusively to cardiovascular care. My career has taken me from coronary intensive care units to cardiac catheterization labs, electrophysiology suites, and device clinics, always with the same focus: getting to the heart of what each patient needs.

Currently practicing at VCU Health in Richmond, VA, I specialize in cardiac electrophysiology evaluating and managing complex arrhythmias, overseeing implantable cardiac devices, and supporting patients through every stage of their ardiovascular journey, from acute episodes to long-term disease management.
