Adeyemi Sanyade Johnson (born April 29, 1957) is a Nigerian interventional cardiologist who was the first to pioneer contemporary invasive cardiology including the first to conduct coronary angioplasty with stent implantation in Nigeria.[1][2] He is the medical director and chief executive officer of First Cardiology Consultants.[3]
Early life[edit]
Johnson was born in 1957 and raised in Ebute Metta, Lagos, Nigeria. His father, Mosanya Omosanya Johnson was from Ologbowo in Lagos State, Nigeria. His mother is Marion Johnson.
Education and Career[edit]
Johnson attended his primary education at Corona School, Yaba, Lagos and later proceeded to King's College, Lagos for his secondary education under the Hyde Johnson's House. He attended the College Of Medicine, University of Lagos, Idi-Araba, Lagos.[4] and graduated in 1981. After graduation, Johnson proceeded to serve in the National Youth Service Corps in Jattu Uzauire, Bendel State. He later left Nigeria for his postgraduate training at Yale University, Connecticut, the USA where he enrolled in the Masters in Public Health and Preventive Medicine program. He further went on to have internal residency training and cardiovascular training at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York. In 1987, he became a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and also a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine cardiovascular disease subspecialty in 1989.
Johnson later went on to serve as director of vascular cardiology at Mid Carolina Cardiology, Charlotte, North Carolina. He returned to Nigeria in 2008 to start First Cardiology Consultants in Ikoyi, Lagos. Since then he has pioneered contemporary invasive cardiology in the country and has performed several procedures including the first coronary angioplasty with stent implantation in Nigeria and first non-surgical (percutaneous) closure of holes in the heart for children (patent ductus arteriosus) and adults (atrial septal defect). He developed a non- surgical peripheral program to restore blood flow to blocked arteries of the arms and legs. This program has saved several limbs which would have been amputated due to poor circulation in Nigeria.
Johnson is an associate clinical professor at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, North Carolina, and chief executive officer of First Cardiology Consultants Ltd.[5]
Academic Work[edit]
Johnson has published academic journals touching various topics in cardiology both in the United States and Nigeria.[6][7][8][9][10] Based on his vast level of experience in the field of cardiology he also contributes his knowledge to the medical field by being a guest lecturer.[11][12][13]
Personal life[edit]
Johnson is married to Annabelle Johnson and they have three children together.
