Medscape: New Board Certification in Advanced Heart Failure/Transplant/Mechanical Assist Devices a Huge Step Forward

In her blog from the National Meeting of the Heart Failure Society, Ileana Peña, MD, MPH, FAHA, FACC, discusses the newest subspecialty of cardiology and how it addresses an important sub-group of cardiology patients. "We feel that this is a huge step forward since we have felt for many years that we must contribute additional expertise to this group of patients who are very complex and who have a tremendous number of issues, not to exclude end-of-life care and hospice care," says Peña.

Both Dr. Michael Kwan and Dr. Chandra Kunavarapu with Texas Transplant Physician Group are board certified in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology.
