Major scientific accomplishments involve the study of mechanical and electrical risk factors in coronary heart disease, investigations into lipid and clotting factors that contribute to coronary disease, clinical trials involving the implanted defibrillator and resynchronization therapy in high-risk coronary patients, electrocardiology, phenotype/genotype investigations of the inherited long QT syndrome, and studies of drug-induced ventricular repolarization and heart rhythm disorders.
