Biography

Jeptha P. Curtis, MD, is a Professor in the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale School of Medicine. He received his medical degree from the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons before training in internal medicine at the Duke University Medical Center and completing his fellowships in clinical and interventional cardiology at Yale. Dr. Curtis directs the American College of Cardiology Analytic Center at CORE. He has also led the development of registry-based outcome measures for CMS examining 30-day mortality following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and ICD and currently oversees the maintenance of the registry measures, contributes to the development of new measures, and assists in the development of approaches to cardiovascular surveillance. Currently, he is conducting a mixed methods research study of hospitals that perform PCI (TOP PCI). The study will begin with a qualitative component in which top performing hospitals will be visited to identify candidate strategies, and will then move to a quantitative survey of PCI hospitals to determine which strategies are most closely associated with better patient outcomes. Through critically examining the practice of interventional cardiology, Dr. Curtis hopes to improve the quality of care delivered to patients with coronary artery disease and those undergoing PCI.

Clinical Care

Overview

Jeptha Curtis, MD, is an interventional cardiologist who treats a wide variety of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarctions, vascular diseases, and general heart disease.

His research focuses on the connection between interventional cardiology and health services research. While technological advances have expanded the diagnostic and treatment options for interventional cardiologists, Dr. Curtis is interested in efforts to monitor how these therapies are used outside of clinical trials.

Dr. Curtis leads the Registry Data Analytic Center within the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation (CORE). In this role, he manages the American College of Cardiology’s National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR). The registry brings together several national cardiac programs to make possible improvements to patient care, track trends and patterns in patient care, and evaluate the effectiveness of certain healthcare strategies.

Additionally, Dr. Curtis is the medical director of the Heart & Vascular Center. He is a professor of medicine (cardiology) at Yale School of Medicine.
