Chicago, IL — Dr Allen Anderson is the new medical director of the advanced heart-failure program and director of network development at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute at Northwestern University.

"Allen adds to our growing capabilities as a clinical center of excellence, a dedicated site for clinical investigation, and a reference point of education regarding all facets of heart failure," Northwestern chief of cardiology Dr Clyde Yancy told heartwire . "We started with a very solid core group and now, with the addition of Dr Anderson and others to come, we are poised to become the class-leading center of national scope that our patients deserve."

"I am excited to work closely with Dr Yancy and to join a distinguished faculty of physicians in an institutionally valued, stable cardiology division that has rapidly ascended to national prominence, thanks to a history of strong leadership," Anderson told heartwire in an email. "I look forward to developing networks of care and working with a group of distinguished surgeons via the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute that will provide convenient, high-quality care to patients with complex cardiac problems, especially advanced heart failure."
