He was a leader of trials that evaluated the first direct oral anticoagulants for prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and is currently engaged in trials developing improved therapeutic approaches in a wide array of cardiovascular disease states. He served on writing panels issuing clinical practice guidelines for management of patients with various cardiovascular disorders, including atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, cerebrovascular disease and stroke, was Chair of the ACC/AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines, Chair of the ACC/AHA/ACP Task Force on Clinical Competence and Training, and Deputy Editor of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
