Dr. Michael A. Blazing
Overview
My role in cardiology at Duke has been in the prevention and management of advanced cardiovascular disease symptoms in my patients. In the area of prevention, I specialized in cholesterol treatment and specifically in the management of statin medications especially for those individuals who feel they are intolerant. My practice also has a focus on patients with difficult-to-control hypertension, hypertension medication intolerance, difficult-to-manage congestive heart failure, and problems with heart failure medications. My newest role in the clinic is as the director of Outpatient Services for our practice. Our practice-based goals are to make sure everyone who sees a Duke cardiologist leaves on the best therapy for their disease based on current evidence and the individual's ability to tolerate and benefit from that treatment.

Duke Cardiology Riverview
I run a general cardiology practice with a focus on the care of patients with complex coronary artery disease and those with valvular heart disease. As a Duke-trained interventional cardiologist, I incorporate cutting-edge radial and femoral techniques for complex coronary interventions. I am dedicated to the belief that while the cornerstone of 21st century cardiovascular care must be grounded in a solid understanding of modern evidence and technologies – every patient is unique and each patient’s treatment plan should reflect that individuality. I am board certified in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology. Dr. Brennan is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Restrictive Cardiomyopathy (RCM).
