In 2022, Dr. Mohammad Eyman Mortada, director of the clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship program at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee, performed the first dual-chamber leadless pacemaker implant in Wisconsin.
The procedure allows beat-by-beat communication between implants in the ventricle and atrium of a patient’s heart. It leaves no visible scars and provides better treatment to patients with heart rhythm disorders. Dual-chamber leadless pacemakers recently received FDA approval and Mortada’s expertise continues to heal heart patients throughout the Midwest.
Mortada is a published medical scholar and has served on multiple national boards and committees. He is a fellow with the American College of Cardiology and Heart Rhythm Society and is a member of the Wisconsin Medical Society.
Mortada volunteers at the St. Vincent De Paul soup kitchen and L.O.A.F. Inc. in Milwaukee. As a member of the Syrian Ministry of Health, he travels to Syria each year to give medical lectures and provide free medical exams and consultations to patients who cannot afford health care.
