North Oaks Health System is proud to welcome fellowship-trained cardiologist Patrick Delaney, MD, to the team at North Oaks Cardiology Clinic in Hammond. He is accepting new patients ages 18 and up.
Dr. Delaney began his career as a cardiologist with a strong focus on helping patients during heart attacks and other serious heart problems. Now a seasoned cardiologist and instructor, he draws on more than three decades of experience treating patients with heart and vascular disease with the goal of preventing major cardiac events.
I enjoy talking to patients, trying to diagnose and rule out cardiac conditions, relieving patients' concerns, and giving them advice to help prevent heart problems in the future,” Delaney shares.
Dr. Delaney is passionate about helping patients prevent and manage heart disease through family history, physical exams, and a wide range of cardiac testing, including EKGs, echocardiograms, stress tests and CT scans.
I especially enjoy when we are able to diagnose and treat a patient’s potentially serious condition before it causes them more severe long-term problems,” he adds. “When we see patients in the outpatient setting, cardiac CT often lets us get high‑quality images of the coronary arteries. Using what those images show, we can then sometimes avoid doing more invasive cardiac procedures.”
Dr. Delaney earned his undergraduate degree in biology from the University of New Orleans and his medical degree from the LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Afterwards, he completed his fellowship specializing in cardiovascular diseases at Tulane University in New Orleans. He is board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in Cardiovascular Diseases and Cardiovascular CT.
