The other is his daughter, Dana, who was born with a hole in her heart. Surgery corrected the condition, but the experience focused his career on cardiology. After attaining a biology degree from Baker University, Dr. Bissing earned a medical degree from the University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City. He then completed a residency in internal medicine and fellowship in cardiology, both at the University of Iowa.Dr. Bissing joined Iowa Heart Center in 1995.
