Biography

I am the Chief of Heart Failure at Yale Cardiology. I focus on the care of patients with end stage heart failure, left ventricular assist devices, and heart transplants. My Internal Medicine training was at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston. During that time, I received an MPH from Harvard School of Public Health. I did my fellowship in Cardiovascular Medicine and Advanced Heart Failure at Duke University Medical Center along with a two year research fellowship at DCRI. My research interest is in using data to improve the care of heart failure patients. I partner with several investigators at Yale to run pragmatic clinical trials across the health system that are aimed at answering foundational questions about the practice of heart failure.
