LITTLE ROCK — Board-certified and triple-fellowship-trained cardiologist Michael Luna, M.D., has joined the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, as a professor.
Luna came to UAMS from the Dallas VA Medical Center and UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he was an associate professor of cardiology.
“We were very fortunate to attract Dr. Luna from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center,” said J. Paul Mounsey, M.D., Ph.D., director of the UAMS Division of Cardiovascular Medicine. “He is a nationally recognized leader in structural heart disease, both in adults and children, and will be dividing his time between UAMS and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Under his expert guidance, we anticipate early access to cutting-edge, catheter-based technologies for our patients, and we are confident that we will see a major expansion of the structural heart disease service.”
