About Us

Our physicians participate collaboratively with colleagues in Cardiothoracic Surgery, Cardiovascular Medicine, Radiology, and Cardiac Anesthesia to determine the best therapeutic option for each patient. Our physicians perform over 2,000 procedures annually in the Froedtert Hospital cardiac catheterization laboratory and are actively engaged in research, education, and health care leadership. Our physicians have been recognized for their excellence locally and nationally and hold leadership positions in various national organizations (e.g., American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology).

Research Studies and Clinical Trials

The MCW Interventional Cardiology section conduct and participate in local and national research studies and clinical trials related to coronary artery disease, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmia, and structural heart disease. Actively recruiting clinical trials include:
