Dr Pariaut completed his Studies of Veterinary Medicine at the School of Veterinary Medicine, Lyon, France in 1999, and defended his Doctoral Thesis at the Medical School of Lyon in 2002. He completed an Internship in Small Animal Medicine & Surgery and a Specialty Internship in Emergency & Critical Care, both in the School of Veterinary Medicine in Lyon, France and then served there as a Clinical Instructor in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine.

Dr. Pariaut completed a residency in Cardiology at Cornell University and successfully achieved board-certified status in Cardiology in 2005. He served as a staff veterinarian and Cardiology consultant in Lyon, France in 2006, and was a senior veterinarian in the Cardiology Service at the University of California, Davis in 2007.

Dr Pariaut joined LSU with the objective of developing a program of interventional cardiology (Catheter-based treatment of cardiac diseases) to diagnose and treat congenital and acquired cardiac diseases. He’s also pursuing his research interests in cardiac electrophysiology and identification of cardiac biomarkers. Dr Pariaut is an assistant editor for the Journal of Veterinary Cardiology.
