About Dr. Dhar
Clinical Biography
Gaurav Dhar, M.D., joined UAMS Health in 2021 as the Director of Interventional Cardiology. His goal is to establish and grow the Structural Heart Program at UAMS. Previously, he was the Medical Director of the Structural Cardiac Interventional Program for the Sparrow Healthcare System in Lansing.
Clinical Focus
As the director of Interventional Cardiology, a subspecialty of Cardiology, Dr. Dhar diagnoses and treats conditions and diseases of the heart and blood vessels using nonsurgical, catheter-based procedures and specialized imaging techniques.
“We were very fortunate to recruit Dr. Dhar, a nationally recognized expert in Structural Heart Disease, to initiate our program at UAMS Health,” said John P. Mounsey, M.D., Director of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine within the UAMS College of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine.
“Under his guidance, we have begun Left Atrial Occlusion Procedures to prevent strokes in patients with Atrial Fibrillation who can’t take anticoagulants. We have also begun to perform Aortic and Mitral Valve Operations through catheters inserted into blood vessels,” Mounsey said. “Formerly, these procedures would have required Open Heart Surgery. I am very excited that we can now offer these state-of-the-art surgeries to our patients at UAMS.”
