Mina Madan
Research Assistant:
Specific areas of interest include the management of acute coronary syndromes, secondary prevention strategies for coronary artery disease, and endovascular treatments for peripheral arterial disease. Her research interests have primarily focused on improving the efficacy, safety, and durability of percutaneous coronary interventions using new pharmacotherapy and devices. Recent projects have focused on studying the inflammatory pathway in ACS, and included evaluation of several cholesterol lowering strategies after myocardial infarction. In 2019, Dr. Madan launched the Sunnybrook SCAD Clinic, a subspecialty clinic to coordinate care for survivors of acute myocardial infarction related to spontaneous coronary artery dissection. In 2023, she launched one of the first interventional hypertension programs in Canada offering renal denervation for uncontrolled hypertension.
