Overview
I am an interventional cardiologist who helps patients in the cardiac catheterization lab by performing procedures like inserting stents and pacemakers. I also provide care in general cardiology and follow patients with coronary disease, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. I have spent more than 20 years at the Kernodle Clinic and helped establish and design its cath lab. I view my patients as family members and try to be conservative about when to intervene. I know there are always risks and drawbacks to any intervention, so I use good judgment to determine when a procedure is warranted. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my two children, playing golf and going on winter skiing trips with my family.

Duke Cardiology Clinic - Clinic 2F/2G
I am excited about electrophysiology because it gives me the opportunity to improve patients' quality of life and allows patients to live longer in many cases. I ultimately went to medical school because of a passion for helping people, lifelong learning, and establishing meaningful relationships with my patients. I strongly believe in patient engagement and patient-centered decision making. Therefore, I believe that it is important to spend time educating patients and discussing all available treatment options. I encourage patients and their family members to ask questions so that I can help them understand their health. I offer medical therapy and catheter ablation therapy to patients with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), and ventricular tachycardia. I also place transvenous pacemakers and defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, leadless pacemakers, and subcutaneous defibrillators. I also perform lead extractions. I have two children, and I enjoy cooking, as well as playing golf, tennis, and skiing. Dr. Pokorney is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.
