Summary
- I am a board certified general cardiologist with clinical focus in management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

I oversee multiple clinical trials in HFpEF and have been a top enroller in several recent trials (REDUCE LAP HF1, REDUCE LAP HF 2, DELIVER). I also direct the adult echocardiography laboratory at MUSC. I hold the Alicia Spaulding-Paolozzi endowed chair in cardiac imaging.
