Doug Blank MD FACC
Doug Blank MD FACC – Board Certified in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplantation, as well as, General Cardiology. Doug enjoys all aspects of cardiology but has a passion for the advanced heart failure patient. Doug came to Idaho Falls shortly after Dr. Chambers and completed a Cardiology Fellowship together at the University of Nebraska. This has turned out to be a great decision, as Doug saw an opportunity to start a Heart Failure program here in Idaho Falls and was able to bring this important service to the community.
Doug enjoys helping the advanced heart failure patient improve. There is nothing more satisfying than watching the patients normalize their heart function. He loves sitting down and talking to patients and their families about their health issues. Explaining the work up, diagnosis, and treatment plans is very important for successful outcome.
Idaho Heart Institute is a well-rounded program with very experienced partners. All areas of cardiology are covered by our group in the clinic and local hospitals. I want to continue building our Heart Failure program at Idaho Heart Institute, and strive to continually improve the outpatient programs for our patients.
