Biographical Statement

Dr. Dee Dee Wang is an internationally recognized leader in the field of Structural Heart Imaging and lectures around the world on peri-procedural planning for complex valvular and structural heart disease. She has authored over 150 abstracts and publications in the world's leading medical journals, and co-authored multiple imaging consensus guidance statements for Structural Heart Imaging.

Dr. Wang has been working on peri-procedural planning for transcatheter mitral valve replacement therapies and pioneered the development of a left ventricular outflow tract prediction modeling tool used by health systems around the world to identify patients who may be suitable anatomical candidates for transcatheter mitral valve replacement interventions. She has also developed the pathway for integrating multi-detector CT to optimize patient outcomes in left atrial appendage closure procedures. These initiatives have been proven to increase delivery of personalized patient-centric care, improved patient procedural success rates and minimize procedural complications.
