About Dr. Amir Faour
Dr. Amir Faour is a Consultant Cardiologist at Medcare Hospital in Dubai, specializing in interventional cardiology—a technique-focused field where doctors use catheters and imaging to treat heart problems without open surgery. He trained in Australia and the UK, earning his medical degree from the University of Queensland and completing advanced fellowships in interventional and structural cardiology at leading hospitals including Liverpool and Leeds. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales.
Dr. Faour is skilled in advanced imaging-guided procedures such as OCT, IVUS, and FFR-directed coronary intervention—techniques that allow precise placement of stents in blocked arteries. He also performs transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a keyhole method for replacing a faulty aortic valve without opening the chest. He manages a broad range of heart conditions including coronary artery disease, heart failure, valve problems (aortic and mitral disease), irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
He holds fellowships from the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, and is a member of the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology. His work has resulted in seven peer-reviewed publications and 30 conference presentations. Dr. Faour is an engaging clinician who communicates in both Arabic and English.
