Lifestyle and Atrial Fibrillation: Adventures in Clinical Research

Could that cup of coffee or glass of wine change your cardiac risk? At this Medical Grand Rounds, we will present the latest evidence regarding the impact of common habits like alcohol and caffeine consumption on cardiac arrhythmias. In addition to exploring the clinical and lifestyle implications of our findings, we will describe some of the pioneering research methods we’re employing at UCSF to better understand the impact of lifestyle on heart health.

Speaker
Gregory M. Marcus, MD, MAS, is a professor of Medicine at UCSF, associate chief of Cardiology for Research at UCSF Health, and the inaugural endowed professor of Atrial Fibrillation Research. In addition to his active inpatient and outpatient clinical practice dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias, performing catheter ablation procedures and implantations of pacemakers and defibrillators, and training cardiology and electrophysiology fellows, Greg has an active research program dedicated to understanding the fundamental causes of abnormal heart rhythms.
