Research Topics
Anatomy, Cardiovascular, Imaging
Coronary Artery Disease in High Risk Populations
This research examined the risk factor profile and angiographic findings of high risk CAD populations (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Guyanese) of South Asian descent.
Mitral Annulus Anatomy and Function
This research focused on the role anatomic perturbations of the mitral annulus play in the pathogenesis of mitral valve disease. This work, which entailed gross dissection and histological examination of human and bovine hearts, led to a number of novel insights including the role of the left atrium on mitral annular contraction and the mechanistic role of atriogenic leaflet tethering in atrial functional mitral regurgitation.
Left Ventricular Remodeling
This work employed echocardiographic strain imaging to examine the role of left ventricular false tendons in maintaining normal left ventricular size and shape and in preventing adverse remodeling after myocardial infarction.
Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse
This research utilized cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to examine the patho-anatomy of mitral annular disjunction (MAD) in patients with mitral valve prolapse. We found that MAD is accompanied by anomalous attachment of the posterior annulus to the left ventricle with implications for the pathogenesis of malignant ventricular arrhythmias.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
