Dr. Edward on Clubhouse

Bio

Specialized in interventional cardiovascular disease and is board certified in interventional cardiology, cardiovascular diseases, echocardiography, nuclear cardiology and peripheral vascular ultrasound interpretation. I have a special interest in the management of coronary artery disease, critical care cardiology and peripheral vascular disease management. 
 
Born in Baghdad, Iraq where I completed my early training, I became interested in peripheral vascular diseases when I realized that mine is an underserved area of medicine. I witnessed high rates of uncontrolled diabetes and limited (or no) access to modern limb salvage techniques which exposed me to the frequent and devastating personal and societal consequences of amputation. The combination of these experiences, plus years of Iraq-based training in critical care cardiology and cardiac interventions, led to my passion in treating ischemic heart disease, angina and extending those same life-saving techniques to efforts to prevent limb loss. 
I also enjoy running and recently completed my first marathon. I also like to travel with my family, and enjoy politics.
