Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Using His/Left Bundle Pacing vs. Left Ventricular Epicardial Pacing in Patients with Heart Failure
We will be collaborating on this project with Baylor College of Medicine that has been awarded a grant by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
Atrial Fibrillation and Aortic Dissection
We are examining lifestyle factors in order to develop novel behavioral interventions, aided by the use of activity-tracking wearable devices, with the goal of improving patient outcomes. We are also interested in the impact of cardiac devices on patient’s psychological well-being. A particular area of interest is shock anxiety in those with implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Currently, our states of interest include atrial fibrillation and aortic dissections.
Patient Outcomes Healthcare
We are currently focusing on improving patient quality of life and outcomes through conducting research on the patient-provider relationship and patient-centered care.
