Clinical Interests:
Valvular and adult congenital heart disease, myocardial and pericardial disease, complex cardiovascular problems, pulmonary hypertension

Research Interests:
The major areas of research involve mostly hemodynamic research:
1.Valvular heart disease.  One of the largest valvuloplasty programs in the country with over 20 years experience.  Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy treatment with alcohol ablation is also performed, as is percutaneous mitral repair and now percutaneous valve replacement.
2. Adult congenital heart disease.  One of the country's largest programs and one of the few training programs.  Includes percutaneous closure of ASD, VSD, accessory vessels, percutaneous valve repair and replacement.
3.Digital imaging research, including studies with contrast media.
4.Ventricular hemodynamics.  Includes use of pressure-volume data from conductance catheter studies in man and swine.

The Valvular Disease Program, and Adult Congenital Program are nationally recognized.  Dr. Bashore is now or recently has been on the Editorial Boards of Circulation, the American Journal of Cardiology, Cardiac Catheterization and Intervention, Emergency Medicine, the American Heart Journal, Cardiology Today and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.  He was formerly director of the Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories and then the Director of the Cardiology Fellowship Training Program.  He currently is Vice Chief for Clinical Affairs and Education in the Division of Cardiology. He is on variety of national committees with the American College of Cardiology and author of over 250 manuscripts, 60 chapters and 3 books.  Dr. J. Kevin Harrison, Dr. Andrew Wang, Dr. Tom Gehrig and Dr. Cary Ward complement the research team along with a variety of research personnel.
