Heart Cardiothoracic Surgery Anesthesiology
Managing circadian rhythms through intense light and chronologically timed therapy can help prevent or treat a variety of circulatory system conditions, including heart disease, according to a new study from researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
As a cardiothoracic anesthesiology fellow, Rizwan Nazarali, MD, keeps people safely asleep through major, open-chest surgeries. He monitors cardiopulmonary bypass when surgery patients’ hearts or lungs are outside of their bodies, and he manages patients on ECMO, a machine that keeps them alive while they wait for heart or lung transplants.
