Research Interest
General research interest involves clinical cardiology and cardiovascular epidemiology. In particular, risk assessment for cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic individuals as well as in patients with suspected or known CAD. Those involve clinical assessment as well as imaging, with major involvement with cardiac CT in this setting.
Clinical Interest
General interest in clinical cardiology with particular focus of cardiovascular prevention and risk assessement of asymptomatic individuals as well as on the care of chronic coronary syndromes / stable angina patients including those with advanced coronary artery disease and refractory angina.

Additionally, interests include the use of cardiovascular imaging, particularly cardiac computed tomography to diagnose, risk stratify and plan management of coronary artery disease.

Other interests include the impact of upstream environmental, social and cultural on the development, progression, risk and management of cardiovascular diseases.
