Get to know Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Steven R. Bailey, who serves patients in Louisiana. As a specialist in interventional cardiology, Dr. Bailey specializes in the treatment and care of cardiovascular disease, congenital heart disease, and structural heart defects. At present, he is The Chairman of Medicine at LSU Shreveport and the Malcolm Feist Chair of Interventional Cardiology. He also is a Tenured and Emeritus Professor of Medicine and Radiology and previous Chief of the Janey and Dolph Briscoe Jr. Division of Cardiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Educated in the United States, Dr. Bailey received his Medical Degree from Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine in 1978. He then did his residency in internal medicine and fellowship in cardiovascular disease at the Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, Colorado in 1981 and 1983, respectively. As a testament to his success, the doctor is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and interventional cardiology by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. From 1999 until 2019, Dr. Bailey was the Program Director for Interventional Cardiology at UTHSCSA, where he chaired the Promotion and Tenure Committee. His research laboratory is involved in investigating the effects of NOX subtypes in promoting cardiovascular disease and pulmonary endothelial cell prothrombotic response to Covid 19 viral infection. He has translational research in the field of nanotechnologies and nanosensors and holds several patents in these fields. Having garnered excellent designations, Dr. Bailey is a Master Interventionist of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (MSCAI), a Master of the American College of Physicians (MACP), a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology (FACC), and a Fellow of the American Heart Association (FAHA). In addition, he is a member of the Association of University Cardiologists, the Association of Cardiology Professors, and the International Andreas Gruentzig Society. Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases. An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with one to two years of additional education and training in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease as well as congenital (present at birth) and structural heart conditions through catheter-based procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting. Currently, Dr. Bailey is the Editor in Chief of Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, which is the official publication of SCAI.
