Biography
I am a Cardiac Electrophysiologist and Associate Professor of Cardiac Sciences and Community Health Sciences at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine.
My clinical practise is devoted to inpatient, outpatient, and interventional care of patients with arrhythmias, with a particular focus on atrial fibrillation management.
My research program spans clinical and health services research domains, focusing on the prevention and treatment of common, high-impact cardiovascular diseases. I am currently the PI for the APPROACH initiative, as well as the Scientific Director for Alberta Health Services’ Cardiovascular Health and Stroke Strategic Clinical Network (SCN).
Research
Areas of Research
My team uses data from the APPROACH cardiac registry and linked provincial data holdings to explore important issues in the diagnois, treatment, and prognosis of common cardiac conditions, including acute coronary syndromes, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure.
I have worked on the design, development and evaluation of electornic tools to improve clinical decision-making, including a patient decision aid for atrial fibrillation, and individualized patient reported outcome measure reports for patients with coronary heart disease.
