About

Karen Stout, M.D., is a board certified physician and associate chief of Cardiology at the Cardiology Clinics at UW Medical Center and Edmonds and a UW professor of Cardiology and an adjunct professor of Pediatric Cardiology. She believes the best medical care is provided by a team that includes the patient as a key team member. Her goal is not only to make the best recommendations she can, but also to educate patients about their conditions. Through education, patients can ensure they are doing their part to optimize health, while ensuring that they are getting what they need from the health-care team.

She enjoys teaching general cardiology and clinical cardiology subspecialties, including adult congenital heart disease and pregnancy and heart disease.  

Dr. Stout earned her M.D. at the University of Arizona. She is board certified in both Adult Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiovascular Disease. Her clinical interests and expertise include adult congenital heart disease, echocardiography and pregnancy and heart disease. Her research interests include long-term outcomes of adults with congenital heart disease.

When not practicing medicine, Dr. Stout enjoys snowboarding, biking, hiking and traveling.
