Biography
As a cardiologist who specializes in pulmonary hypertension, I’m committed to making sure our treatment plans focus on each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Pulmonary hypertension is a complex disease with a variety of causes in which the pressures in the arteries of the lungs are higher than normal. These high pressures can cause patients to feel short of breath and, in some cases, cause the right side of the heart to weaken.
I’m dedicated to increasing the awareness of the need to screen patients for this condition, and I believe that each patient with possible pulmonary hypertension should receive a thoughtful evaluation by a caring, experienced specialist.
Over the course of my 18 years as a doctor and researcher focused on pulmonary hypertension, I’ve studied the use of exercise testing to improve our ability to find this condition, and I’ve worked to identify the causes of some forms of pulmonary hypertension to help uncover new treatment options.
As the director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I have the honor of bringing together talented health care providers and researchers from many different backgrounds with one common goal: improving the lives of people with pulmonary hypertension.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy watching my son play hockey.
