Current Research and Scholarly Interests

My main research continues to be in the field of echocardiography. Several areas of research are currently being pursued:

1. Coronary artery myocardial bridge; anatomic, physiologic and hemodynamic assessment. Clinical manifestations and treatment.

2. Exercise/stress echocardiography

3. Echocardiographic evaluation of Cardiac structures and function
