Background
Originally from Wisconsin, Dr. Czarny attended the University of Wisconsin where he majored in molecular biology. After medical school at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he completed an internal medicine residency at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston followed by cardiovascular disease, interventional cardiology, and structural heart disease fellowships at Johns Hopkins. Currently, he is a faculty member in interventional cardiology and performs heart catheterizations and coronary artery stenting for patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarctions ("heart attacks") at both the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. He is also a member of the Structural Heart Disease team and performs minimally invasive, catheter-based treatments for structural heart disease at the Johns Hopkins Hospital including transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for aortic valve stenosis, valve repair/replacement procedures for mitral valve regurgitation and stenosis, patent foramen ovale closure, atrial septal defect closure, alcohol septal ablation for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and left atrial appendage occlusion with the Watchman(TM) device. He sees patients in his structural heart disease clinics at both the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
Dr. Czarny's research interests include the safety of cardiac stenting at hospitals without cardiac surgery backup and outcomes of catheter-based structural heart procedures.

I was scheduled at the wrong Dr for my needs but she worked it out so I could see Dr in intervntialist cardiology later that day as I drive 2 1/2 hrs for visit. Their xtra efforts saved me waiting weeks to see proper Dr and thank God they cared enough to do that as my heart situation is a lot worse than was ever explained to me on the Eastern shore.

Dr. Czarny is a new cardiology doctor for me as Dr. Resar, which is currently on leave is my usual physician. Dr. Czarny was excellent in assisting me with my cardiology concerns and was very helpful in explaining any questions or concerns that I had. He thoroughly went over my test results and explained in great detail his concerns and also any concerns that I had about my current conditions...

I appreciated getting to Dr. Czarny at Johns Hopkins as a second opinion for a heart procedure I need to do. I feel a little nervous at the first provider, but speaking with Dr. Czarny, I feel a lot more confident in his expertise and knowledge on the topic. He was also sure to explain everything to me very well and make sure all of my questions were answered. It's further for me to go to Johns Hopkins, but it's worth the drive.
