My Notes

I have a strong interest in patient care and I am interested in caring for patients with all forms of cardiovascular disease including pregnancy and heart disease, women cardiac disease, and complex valvular heart disease. My research interests include women cardiac disease, pregnancy and cardiac disease, and use of new echocardiographic technologies.
