Carolinas Medical Center

• Diagnostic value of the EKG Component of Dobutamine Imaging Studies in patients with conflicting EKG and Imaging Results

Preceptor: Laszlo Littmann, MD, Department of Internal Medicine Dates : August 1999 – 2001

Description: Prospectively collected results of dobutamine stress images and comparing with angiographs. Goal was to determine whether EKG or imaging component was more predictive of angiogram results. Assigned predictive scores to each component of EKG, echo or myoview, and presence of chest pain with dobutamine infusion.

• EKG Indications of Hyperkalemia

Preceptor: Laszlo Littmann, MD, Department of Internal Medicine Dates: March 1999 – 2001

Description: Analyzed the erroneous doubling of heart rate by EKG computer analysis that may indicate the presence of hyperkalemia. Although various conditions can theoretically cause double counting, it is 90% specific for hyperkalemia. University of Southern California

Dates: September 1989 - April 1990

Funding: University of Southern California Student Research Grant Description: Grew embryos of indigenous marine life in coastal waters from Southern California to quantify viability. Areas of higher contamination were identified and deleterious developmental effects were documented.
