Research Interest
The Magnani Lab focuses on social determinants of health and cardiovascular disease and outcomes. There is tremendous evidence that social factors significantly influence health care access and outcomes. Identifying social determinants of health can provide avenues for community-based interventions and insight regarding the etiologies for disparities. To this end, our lab's principal research agenda consists in (1) identification of the intersection of social determinants (household income and composition; educational attainment; health literacy) with health-related risk factors and outcomes; and (2) development of strategic interventions to reduce or address cardiovascular risk in disadvantaged individuals. We have two on-going clinical trials which provide patient-centered interventions to patients with chronic cardiovascular disease, specifically atrial fibrillation. Our projects enroll rural and metropolitan individuals who face the multiple disadvantages of geographic isolation and limited social resources. Our team has further continued extensive health services research using administrative data. Dr. Magnani maintains active involvement in the American Heart Association (AHA), having chaired the writing group on health literacy and cardiovascular disease and serving as member of the EPI Statistics Committee and the Social Determinants Committee.
Clinical Interest
Dr. Magnani is an Associate Professor of Medicine with tenure in the Heart and Vascular Institute. He maintains an active clinical practice with a focus on preventive cardiology.
Educational Interest
Prior to coming to the University of Pittsburgh in May 2016, Dr. Magnani was at Boston University. In 2014 he received the Internal Medicine House Staff Mentoring Award and in 2015 the Department of Medicine Junior Faculty Mentoring Award. These awards reflect Dr. Magnani's commitment towards mentoring trainees and junior faculty to conduct high quality clinical research.
