Get to know Cardiologist Dr. John A. Ambrose, who serves patients in Fresno, California.


New York City, New York Feb 6, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Dr. Ambrose stands as a globally recognized authority and trailblazer in the realm of coronary artery disease, earning distinction as a pioneer in the field of acute coronary syndromes. Over a span of more than four decades, he has dedicated himself to medical practice and extensive research, contributing significantly to the foundational theories surrounding unstable angina, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and the vulnerable plaque, among other critical areas.

Currently, Dr. Ambrose holds the position of Professor of Medicine within the Division of Cardiology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Fresno. In addition, he is actively engaged in clinical practice through his association with the University Cardiovascular Center, an affiliate of UCSF Fresno.

Having graduated as valedictorian from New York Medical College in 1972, Dr. Ambrose completed his internship, residency, and fellowship training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, where he dedicated 25 years of his career. Ascending to the rank of Professor of Medicine and serving as the Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory for 14 years, it was during this period that Dr. Ambrose formulated the pivotal concepts underpinning the pathogenesis of acute syndromes. His seminal papers, produced in collaboration with esteemed mentors such as Richard Gorlin and Valentín Fuster, underscore his enduring contributions.

Following his tenure at Mount Sinai, Dr. Ambrose assumed the role of Director of the Cardiovascular Center at St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in New York City. However, he departed after five years, predating the hospital's declaration of bankruptcy. In 2005, he relocated to Fresno, where he served as Chief of Cardiology and Director of the Cardiology Fellowship Program at UCSF Fresno until 2017.

A Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, Dr. Ambrose is board certified in both cardiovascular disease and internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. Cardiologists are doctors who diagnose, assess, and treat patients with diseases and defects of the heart and blood vessels (the cardiovascular system).

In the course of his professional journey, Dr. Ambrose has mentored over 250 fellows, authored more than 300 papers featured in various journals and books, and has a dedicated Wikipedia page. Consistently acknowledged in the "Best Doctors in America" publication, he attributes his accomplishments to his meticulous attention to detail, sound common sense, sharp judgment abilities, and a voracious reading habit.

On a more personal note, Dr. Ambrose and his wife, Avis Ambrose, share a passion for opera, both being trained singers and active members of the Fresno Grand Opera Chorus. Their joint performances span over two decades, encompassing engagements with opera companies in New York and Fresno. The couple, proud parents of three children and grandparents to seven, find joy in travel and exploring the scenic California coast. Notably, Dr. Ambrose cherishes Saturday mornings as a particular favorite especially when walking above the beach in Carmel.

Eumir Marcial echoes same sentiments in Carlo Paalam’s silver

MANILA, Philippines — Two-time Olympic medalist Carlo Paalam’s loss in the 2026 Asian Games gold-medal match hit close to home for Olympic boxer Eumir Marcial, who had suffered the same fate. Paalam had the chance to end the country’s 16-year gold medal drought, but he suffered a split-decision loss to Japan’s rising star Rui Yamaguchi, 3-2, in the men’s 52-kilogram (kg) division on Friday at the Nishio Gymnasium in Aichi, Japan. In the 2022 Hangzhou Games (held in 2023), Marcial also had a shot for gold in the men’s 80kg, but he settled for silver after bowing to China’s Tanglatihan Touhetaerbieke in a closely contested bout. The common denominator of the two Filipino Olympians’ fates is that Paalam lost to hometown bet Yamaguchi, and Marcial also lost to host China in the finals. Paalam expressed his frustration after the match against his Japanese foe, stating that the referee halted his momentum.  "I'm so good, but the referee again. I don't know, not a good decision. I don’t know about the decision of the referee; he was paying attention so much to me,” Paalam told the media in Filipino via the Philippine Olympic Committee right after stepping out of the ring. “If the momentum is on my side, he stops me. The referee looks like he has a magnifying glass on me,” he added. Marcial then posted on his Facebook account, recalling his 2023 Asian Games stint. “Way back at the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, I also felt that I was robbed in the finals. I thought I had won the fight and would bring home the gold for the Philippines in Asian Games boxing after 13 years,” he wrote.  “We lost in the finals against the host country. What just happened is not new.” But Marcial said that whatever happens, one should move forward. “Whatever the decision, we need to accept it, move forward to the next fight, and continue chasing our dream. Congratulations, tol (brother). Salute.” Marcial skipped the 2026 Asian Games due to a tight schedule since he just had a professional boxing match in the United States, knocking out American Omar Ulises Huerta. The Association of Boxing Alliances of the Philippines (ABAP) and Marcial had a joint decision to skip the Japan Games since rushing back to amateur format after his professional bout could pose an unnecessary physical and health risk.

MANILA, Philippines — Taekwondo gold medalist Jeus Gabriel Derick Yape will bear the flag for a proud Team Philippines during the parade of athletes in Sunday’s closing ceremony of the Aichi-Nagoya 20th Asian Games. “He’s deserving for that honor,” said Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham Tolentino on the eve Saturday of the closing ceremony set for 5 p.m. (Manila time) also at the Nagoya City Mizuho Park Athletics Stadium, where the hosts opened the games two weeks ago. “It will be a recognition not only for Jeus but also for taekwondo, which finally won its first Asian Games gold medal since 1994, when the sport became a medal event in the games,” Tolentino added. Yape topped the mixed virtual taekwondo—an open gender event that combines the combat sports with virtual reality and motion-tracking technology—last Friday to highlight a best-ever 1-3-1 gold-silver-bronze haul by the Filipino jins. He also clinched bronze in men’s individual poomsae. Also joining the closing ceremony are silver medalist Juliana Mykhail Candelaria, Tachiana Keizha Mangin and Kurt Barbosa of taekwondo and Carlo Paalam of boxing. Paris Olympics boxing bronze medalist Aira Villegas and weightlifting world junior champion Albert Ian de los Santos were the flag bearers during the September 19 opening ceremony. TMT

Eala shifts focus back to WTA Tour after Asian Games campaign

MANILA, Philippines — Alex Eala is quickly turning the page after her gold-medal bid fell short at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, shifting her full attention to her upcoming return to the WTA Tour. The Filipina netter must swiftly move past her disappointing campaign as she prepares to compete in the Wuhan Open in China from October 12 to 18, followed immediately by the Ningbo Open, also in China, from October 19 to 25. “I’m going to Wuhan and continue the Tour,” Eala said after her impressive run was halted in the semifinals. Eala suffered a tough 6-3, 3-6, 2-6 defeat against China’s Wang Xiyu, settling for the bronze medal. Despite the setback, she expressed deep gratitude to those who supported her, emphasizing that she gave her absolute all on the court against her Chinese opponent. Reflecting on her stint, Eala remains positive about the experience, highlighting the valuable lessons learned and the specific areas of her game she plans to refine moving forward. “Happy that I was able to have this experience,” she shared. The exit was particularly heartbreaking as Eala entered the tournament as the No. 1 seed and highest-ranked player, making her a strong favorite for the championship. Furthermore, she opted to skip the WTA 1000 Beijing Open—a mandatory WTA event—putting her at risk of penalties. However, Eala has no regrets about her decision, holding her head high over the privilege of representing the Philippines in a prestigious event held only once every four years.  With her national duty complete, her sights are now set entirely on her upcoming professional schedule on the WTA Tour.
