Clinical Interests:
Adult acquired and congenital heart defects, including coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects

Research Interests:
In the past, my basic science research has focused on coronary endothelial function in response to inflammation, and clinical research on perioperative hemostasis following cardiac surgery, as well as outcomes research related to surgery for congenital heart defects.  Currently, I am interested in valuation of physician services and applying game theory analysis to models of physician behavior.
