Doctor Gad Keren

Professor Gad Keren is an Israeli cardiologist, Professor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University and Head of Cardiology at Assuta Medical Centers. He has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, congenital and acquired heart defects, and heart valve diseases. For many years, Professor Keren headed the Department of Cardiology at Tel Aviv Medical Center. He served as President of the Israel Heart Society and was appointed an Honorary Member of the Society in 2015.

Professor Keren’s clinical practice combines diagnostic procedures, interventional techniques and advanced technologies for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. His areas of expertise include catheter-based interventions, angioplasty, treatment of heart valve diseases, echocardiography and diagnosis of heart failure, CARTO catheter ablation, bioresorbable stents, endoscopic valve replacement and stem cell implantation into the heart muscle.

Scientific and innovative research is another important area of Professor Keren’s work. His research focuses on heart failure, cardiorenal syndrome, heart valve diseases, coronary artery disease and cardiac arrhythmias. Professor Keren is the author of a patent registered in 2001 that formed the basis of V-Wave technology — an implantable device designed to reduce left atrial pressure in patients with heart failure. Together with his partners, he founded V-Wave.
