Myocardial Perfusion Scan (Nuclear Stress Test) (in office)

Michael Green, M.D., has more than 25 years of experience in general and interventional cardiology. He earned his medical degree and completed his internship at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and his cardiovascular medicine residency at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in Oklahoma City, OK.

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.

Dr. Michael Green served as a lead investigator for the National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative (NCSI), with Northwest Medical Center (Springdale and Bentonville) among the first 50 hospitals nationwide participating. This multicenter study has helped to identify the best treatment for people who experience cardiogenic shock following a heart attack (AMI-CS). It is designed to assess the feasibility of whether outcomes in cardiogenic shock can be improved by using standardized best practices including inserting a special heart pump to protect the patient during a percutaneous coronary intervention.

Most recently, Dr. Green has become a lead investigator with the RestoreEF national investigational trial designed to determine best treatments for people with multi-vessel coronary artery disease who are not good candidates for open-heart surgery.
