Research Summary
I am interested in understanding how age related changes in cardiovascular structure and function contribute to cardiovascular disorders that disproportionately afflict the elderly.
Research Activities
Current areas of active investigation include syncope, isolated systolic hypertension and heart failure with a normal ejection fraction.
