Overview

Clinical Interests:

Dr. Christopher Lee is a non-invasive cardiologist with a special interest in caring for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He has advanced training in echocardiography and in cardiac MRI and CT.

Academic Interests:

Dr. Lee's research focuses on using novel methods to assess cardiac function and detecting heart disease early in its course. He is interested in an echocardiographic imaging technique called strain imaging, which can be used as an additive tool to reveal cardiac dysfunction that's harder to detect. He is also involved in developing new treatments for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
