Biography

Arun Thukkani, PhD, MD, is board certified in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology.

Following in his father’s footsteps, he was interested in becoming a physician from a young age. With recent innovations in the areas of structural heart disease and interventional cardiology, he has become passionate about taking care of critically ill patients who previously had limited therapeutic options.

In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and children. His hobbies include traveling, cooking and sports.

“I am interested in taking care of critically ill patients who have sustained heart attacks, have very weakened hearts or heart valve problems. Choosing the right therapy for a particular patient always requires a multidisciplinary, coordinated, thoughtful and cooperative approach.” – Arun Thukkani, PhD, MD
