Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
I am a general cardiologist and a cardiovascular health economist interested in understanding and improving long-term clinical outcomes among patients with cardiovascular disease in the United States and overseas.
My recent work has involved the evaluation of novel diagnostic approaches, medical devices, drug therapy and genetic testing. I am particularly interested in the process of optimizing health care priority setting in low-resource settings. For instance, how does one determine the "best" use for scarce resources when considering alternative strategies for a given disease or a range of commonly encountered diseases? Is there a common framework for decision analysis that would be relevant to both the American health care system as well as to South Asia?
I aspire to leverage my dual training in cardiology and health economics to help ensure that our investments in healthcare represent true societal value.
