Specialty Information

Specialties
  • Internal Medicine - Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology
  • Internal Medicine - Cardiovascular Disease, Board Certification
Clinical Interest for Patients
I am interested in caring for individuals with heart failure, particularly those who require mechanical hearts (LVADs). I am also interested in managing patients with HFpEF, or a "stiff heart" and individuals who have been diagnosed with any type of cardiovascular disease, including athletes with heart disease.

Personal Interests
Exercise, skiing, fishing, crossfit, reading

Public Speaking
Yes

Information for Referring Providers

Clinical Interests for Referring Providers
My clinical interests include caring for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction ("HFrEF") including those who require mechanical circulatory support (left ventricular assist devices, "LVADs"), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction ("HFpEF"), cardiomyopathies, and individuals with garden-variety cardiovascular disease. I am also interested in exercise physiology and heart disease in athletes.

Research Interest for Referring Providers
My research interests include exercise physiology of healthy populations and those with cardiovascular disease/heart failure, as well as autoregulatory processes, and autonomic/baroreceptor function in health and disease. I am also interested in studying the hemodynamic effects of pulsatile and nonpulsatile flow on the human body. My current research is supported by a K23 Mentored patient-oriented research career development award, dedicated to studying the impact of mechanical circulatory support on exercise capacity among patients with advanced heart failure.
