Apas Aggarwal

Interventional Cardiologist @ AdventHealth West Florida

About

I am an Interventional Cardiologist in Orlando Florida. I graduated from Northwestern University's 7 year combined BA/MD program. I completed Internal Medicine residency at the Cleveland Clinic and Cardiology fellowship at Indiana University. When I first started cardiology fellowship, I had little to no experience with angiogram interpretation. I recognized this knowledge gap was an area of education and review that could be beneficial to fellows. As a recent graduate from Beaumont Royal Oak's Interventional Fellowship, I was eager to prepare resources to promote cath education for general fellows as well as prepare those taking the ABIM Cardiovascular Medicine Board exam. I founded CathEd with the mission to educate healthcare professionals on angiogram interpretation, one cath at a time.
