Miriam Freundt, MD, FACC, is a board-certified physician who provides inpatient critical care with The Christ Hospital Physicians – Heart & Vascular. Dr. Freundt holds board certifications in Cardiology, Critical Care, and Internal Medicine. She is the Director of the Farmer Family Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit and Director of the ECMO program at The Christ Hospital. She holds an academic appointment as Assistant Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Cincinnati.
According to Dr. Freundt, she doesn’t take a “one size fits all” approach to critical care. “Every patient is different,” she says. “They are mothers, fathers, siblings, children, etc., with their own very specific needs. Seeing patients as the person they are helps to me determine the individual care that’s right for them. She says she is inspired by the commitment from family and friends when a loved one receives critical cardiac treatment. She urges the people she treats to be true to their beliefs and to ask every question possible when determining their treatment options.
Dr. Freundt earned her medical degree from the University of Regensburg in Germany. She completed fellowships in cardiac surgery at the University of Regensburg and in interventional cardiology at Marienhaus Neustadt in Germany.
