Cardiology
THE SECTION OF CARDIOLOGY
The Section of Cardiology in the John W. Deming Department of Medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine encompasses leading clinical, educational and research programs for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We offer comprehensive heart and vascular clinical care at locations in Metairie at the Tulane Doctors Heart & Vascular Clinic on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and downtown New Orleans at the Tulane Medical Center, the University Medical Center, and the Southeast Louisiana Veteran’s Healthcare System.
Our physicians specialize in: Interventional Cardiovascular Procedures, Advanced Heart Failure Treatment, Electrophysiology Treatment, Advanced Arrhythmia Management, Preventative Cardiology Services, Lipid Management, Hypertension Management, Women's Heart Disease Treatment, Peripheral Vascular (or Arterial Disease) Management, Cardiac and Vascular Imaging, Endovascular Interventions, and Endovascular Treatment for Venous Disease.
The Section of Cardiology's nationally recognized clinical faculty members are dedicated to the education and training of physicians in Cardiovascular Diseases. Because our physicians are also academicians, patients can be assured that each case is thoroughly reviewed and all available treatment options are considered. Our faculty members are leaders of research and development in their sub-specialties, often sharing their knowledge by lecturing around the country regarding the latest methods of treating cardiac and peripheral artery disease. The Section of Cardiology also has basic and translational scientists in addition to clinical investigators, participating in numerous research trials.
Academic Programs
Tulane's three-year Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship trains fellows in comprehensive clinical cardiology, with rotations in key specialties like cardiac catheterization, imaging, and heart failure across major medical centers. Accredited by the ACGME, the program emphasizes both academic and clinical excellence, preparing fellows for board certification in cardiovascular diseases.
Tulane’s one-year Interventional Cardiology Fellowship trains fellows in advanced interventional techniques across major medical centers, with a focus on technical skills, clinical judgment, and research. Fellows gain experience through supervised to independent practice, didactic learning, and teaching responsibilities.
The Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program at Tulane University School of Medicine trains physicians in advanced arrhythmia management, covering both invasive and non-invasive procedures. The program begins with foundational cardiac electrophysiology, ensuring fellows gain comprehensive skills in diagnosing and treating cardiac arrhythmias.
