WORK HISTORY
Associate Professor of Medicine with Tenure @Duke University Medical Center
In my career, I have focused on the study of rhythm management devices including the implantable cardioverter defibrillator and cardiac resynchronization therapy. I have also focused on investigating risk factors, prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac death (SCD), the leading cause of death in the United States. My overarching goals are to improve the outcomes of patients who receive cardiac devices and to use my accomplishments as a platform to train young physicians and to enhance clinical research in this area globally. I am a board-certified clinical electrophysiologist and an experienced clinical researcher in cardiac arrhythmias. As a graduate of the NIH-funded Clinical Research Training Program, I am one of a few electrophysiologists nation-wide with expertise in quantitative research methods. My research expertise lies in the design and conduct of clinical trials, outcomes research, and cost-effectiveness analyses. I am a recipient of a National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s R-01 grant titled “Implantable Cardioeverter Defibrillator Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure” (20••••13) and of an American Heart Association Career Development Award (20••••06). I am a Co-Principal Investigator on an Agency of Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) sponsored R-01 grant titled: “Duke Cardiovascular Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics” and a Co-Principal Investigator on another AHRQ R-01 grant that involves the use of merged patient level data from 12 randomized clinical trials of ICDs. I have more than 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals. My work has had wide influence in medical research and health policy.
