Scholarly Activity

I am committed to advancing cardiovascular medicine through rigorous clinical inquiry and systemic innovation. My research interests include Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) outcomes, electrophysiologic markers in acute illness, and the optimization of hospital-wide quality metrics.
