Presenter: Mark Hlatky is a Professor of Health Policy and a Professor of Medicine (Cardiovasular Medicine) at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Hlatky is also a cardiologist with major research interests in clinical trials, clinical research methods, outcomes research, and comparative effectiveness research. Dr. Hlatky has participated in many large, multicenter randomized clinical trials, including studies of coronary revascularization, treatment of acute myocardial infarction, hormone therapy to prevent cardiovascular disease in women, and management of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. He pioneered the collection of data on economic and quality of life outcomes as part of randomized trials, which has become a standard tool in outcomes research. He has conducted large outcomes research studies of coronary revascularization, sudden cardiac death, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. He has also developed decision models to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a wide variety of clinical strategies, including prevention of sudden cardiac death, use of testing to guide preventive treatment of heart disease, use of genetic testing in cardiovascular medicine, and management of cardiac risk during non-cardiac surgery. His current research focuses on the effects of adverse events during pregnancy on long-term cardiovascular health in women.

Dr. Hlatky has received the Life-time Achievement Award of the Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research of the American Heart Association, and the Distinguished Scientist Awards of both the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.
