Liviu Klein MD MS

Cardiac Electrophysiology, Heart Failure & Transplantation

Clinical Professor, Cardiology, UCSF School of Medicine

Summary

My clinical interests are device therapies for heart failure. I successfully built a thriving integrated program of mechanical circulatory support, hemodynamic monitoring and remote monitoring for heart failure.

Together with my colleagues in Bioengineering, I am developing new sensors and devices for heart failure patients.

My research area is cardiovascular epidemiology with a special focus on heart failure and sudden cardiac death in women.
