 He was the first cardiologist to implant a biventricular pacemaker in Arkansas. He also led in the establishment of Northwest Arkansas’ first Congestive Heart Failure Center, and the area’s first Accredited Chest Pain Center at Northwest Medical Center – Springdale.

Dedicated to excellence, the doctor is board-certified in both internal medicine and cardiovascular disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).

A cardiac survivor himself, Dr. Green can reach out and resolve some of physical and mental challenges that the patient may face. He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC) and a member of the American Heart Association. 

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and electrophysiology. As a cardiologist, Dr. Green specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the cardiovascular system. 

In the last few years, Dr. Green has been involved in a study called a National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative. Historically, patients in shock in the setting of acute myocardial infarction had an 80% mortality. The study was recently published which revealed 72% of the patients in the same setting successfully walked out of the hospital. It was done in collaboration with several physicians and hospitals throughout the United States.
