Robert M. Weiss, M.D.
Professor
Dr. Weiss' clinical research interests are in coronary circulation and ventricular mechanical function with recent work directed toward the assessment of myocardial perfusion and regional ventricular function using cardiac MRI. A second line of research involves cardiovascular phenotyping in genetically altered mice using high-speed echocardiography and MRI.
