Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the disorders of the heart, as well as some parts of the circulatory system.

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.
