John S. Schroeder, MD

Professor (Clinical) of Medicine (Cardiovascular), Emeritus

Bio

John Speer Schroeder, M.D. is a board certified cardiologist who deals with a wide range of cardiovascular diagnostic issues and diseases. His clinical research areas include cardiovascular drugs, coronary artery spasm, chest pain of unclear cause, as well as primary and secondary treatment of coronary artery disease.
He was on the Pioneering First Heart Transplant Team at Stanford and since then has served in multiple administrative roles in the Cardiology Division at Stanford.
Dr. Schroeder also serves as a medicolegal and pharmacologic consultant in the cardiovascular field. He has published over 295 scientifically reviewed research papers and book chapters and published over 8 books.

Roger and Joelle Burnell Professor of Genomics, Arthur L. Bloomfield Professor of Medicine and Professor of Genetics, of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Pathology
Clinical Focus
Cardiology, Inherited cardiovascular disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy, Dilated, Sports Cardiology, Heart Failure, Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia, Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, Genomic medicine, Undiagnosed disease
Research Interests
The Ashley lab is focused on precision medicine. We develop methods for the interpretation of whole genome sequencing data to improve the diagnosis of genetic disease and to personalize the practice of medicine. At the wet bench, we take advantage of cell systems, transgenic models and microsurgical models of disease to prove causality in biological pathways and find targets for therapeutic development.

William Haskell

Professor (Research) of Medicine, Emeritus
Research Interests
My major research interests and activities over the next several years will focus on the development and evaluation of the objective measurement of physical activity in free-living populations using a variety of sensing devices and mobile phones for data collection and processing. Also, I will continue to direct the Stanford Heart Network with the major mission being to assist community-based CVD prevention/treatment programs implement more effective heart attack and stroke prevention programs.

Research Interests
My research interests include

1) The cost-effectiveness of new cardiovascular technologies.
Example: tests to screen asymptomatic patients for left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

2) Interventions to improve the quality of care of patients with heart disease. Examples: include clinical reminders and home monitoring.

3) Outcomes research using existing clinical and administrative datasets.

4) Use of echocardiography to predict prognosis (e.g. diastolic dysfunction).

Mark Hlatky, MD

Professor of Health Policy, of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Epidemiology and Population Health
Research Interests
My main research work is in "outcomes research", especially examining the field of cardiovascular medicine. Particular areas of interest are the integration of economic and quality of life data into randomized clinical trials, evidence-based medicine, decision models, and cost-effectiveness analysis. I am also interested in the application of novel genetic, biomarker, and imaging tests to assess risk and guide clinical management of coronary artery disease.
