Summary

  • After 21 Years as an Interventional Cardiologist with the Park Nicollet Clinic in Minneapolis, I left private health care in 2010 to join federal medicine, providing noninvasive cardiovascular services to the Veterans of western Minnesota at the St. Cloud Veterans Health Center. There I focus on advanced medical therapy for heart failure and complex cardiorenal failure, symptomatic coronary artery disease poorly suited to further revascularization, resistant hypertension, and aggressive secondary prevention strategies, along with atrial fibrillation, all common to the largely geriatric population I serve.
