Research

Many reasons underly people’s desire to do research: to be more attractive to employers, to be famous, to earn more, to escape the burden of clinical work, or to be servants of the grant awarding committees.

I just want the truth. I see a problem. I want the answer.

There is nothing more rewarding than being the first one in the world to know something.

I am a cardiologist with interest in heart failure and imaging. I am interested in helping people and patient care. Research is the opportunity to go beyond helping the patients I see, but also help improve the medical community, and people around the world.

My expertise is in high quality data collection and evidence-based medicine. We should collect data that not only captures what happens but why it happens. We should make data-based decisions. When things are unexpected, we should collect data to understand why.
