Research Description
My research is centered on calcific aortic stenosis, including several clinical and translational projects related to biomarker discovery, risk prediction, and elucidating pathophysiology to identify adjunctive interventions to improve patient-centered outcomes. Our group uses various imaging techniques and a biobank of specimens to perform biomarker discovery and understand the pathobiology of aortic stenosis and the effects of pressure overload on the left ventricle and pulmonary vasculature. We have a particular interest in how diabetes affects these processes and aim to identify novel targets for adjunctive medical therapy to improve clinical outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis. Novel rehabilitation strategies targeting frailty are also an area of interest.
Clinical Description
I am actively involved in our heart valve team, evaluating patients clinically and performing the transesophageal echocardiograms for transcatheter valve procedures. I see patients with all types of valve disease to determine the optimal timing of and approach to valve repair or replacement. As a heart valve center, we seek to integrate a clinical and research mission in an innovative way that informs disease paradigms and influences management guidelines in valvular heart disease.
