About me

I am a board-certified cardiologist and interventional cardiologist who specializes in the transradial approach to cardiac catheterization, which uses the radial artery in the wrist, as opposed to the femoral artery in the groin. Studies have consistently showed less bleeding complications and increased patient comfort and preference with catheterization performed through the wrist. While most of the world has made the move towards the radial approach, the US has lagged behind and still some 80% of cardiac caths in the US are done from the groin. While my career has slanted towards the invasive side of cardiology, my fellowship research focused on peripartum cardiomyopathy, or, heart failure during pregnancy.
