Biography

Dr. Marco Perez's research goal is to better understand the fundamental causes of cardiovascular disease through the study of genetics and epidemiology. His group studies the genetic variations and environmental exposures that are associated with conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure. He has led the studies of atrial fibrillation in Women's Health Initiative, one of the largest nation-wide population-based cohorts. He is currently conducting a large study monitoring for silent or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in women from the WHI randomized to exercise intervention, and was co-PI of the Apple Heart Study, a clinical trial that validated the ability of a smartwatch to detect atrial fibrillation. He is now PI of the Clinical Coordinating Center at Stanford for the REACT-AF which is a clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of a "pill-in-the pocket" approach to anticoagulation for AF using a smartwatch. He is interested in understanding the paradox that atrial fibrillation is less common in African Americans and Hispanics, despite a greater burden of risk factors such as hypertension. As director of the Stanford Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic, he evaluates families with rare inherited arrhythmias associated with sudden death such as Long QT and Brugada Syndromes and explores their links with novel genes. He also studies the genetic causes of very early onset atrial fibrillation. He also studies how best to use the electrocardiogram and imaging modalities using Machine Learning techniques to identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. Dr. Perez receives funding from the NIH/NHLBI, Apple Inc., Janssen and the Colson Foundation.

I can say that I was extremely pleased with my video visit with Dr. Marco Perez. Since the start of our conversation, I could see that he was a very skilled professional that was very knowledgeable in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Before the start of our video, he had reviewed all my medical history and explained to me very clearly the purpose of our visit and the various options available for treating my atrial fibrillation. He treated me very well, with respect and compassion, and answered all my questions and concerns in a way that I could understand without leaving any doubts. Great experience!

Apr 2018

•

Verified SHC Patient

Healthcare all around the world was charged drastically over the last 20 years. People became care providers because they had a passion to help others. As a society we do not take good care of ourselves. The need for good, compassionate healthcare providers is at an all time high but there are to many people pursuing healthcare for a career and not because they have a calling. I live in a small town just under 100,000 people and most of the physicians in Chico, CA treat you like cattle than a person. It's because of these experiences many people, like me, do not seek out answers/care to they're HC problems. I've only had 3 appt. @ Stanford and each time I am there I am treated with dignity and respect. To value me, like this, allows me to relax and trust the system Stanford has in place. Keep it up!
