CV fellow Travis Moss, MD
Cardiovascular third-year fellow Travis Moss, MD, won first place in the Jos Willems Young Investigator Competition at this year’s meeting of the International Society for Computerized Electrocardiography, held in April at St. Simons Island, Georgia. Travis was chosen to present his work, “Continuous ECG Monitoring of Cardiorespiratory Dynamics Detects Clinical Deterioration in Acute Care Patients with Cardiovascular Disease,” at the conference, and was selected as winner by a panel of judges.
According to Travis’s mentor, CV faculty member Randall Moorman, Travis’s “big data” study of more than 8,000 patients from UVA Hospital’s fourth floor (which provides coronary care, general cardiology services, and thoracic cardiovascular care) showed “the value of continuous EKG monitoring data for early detection of patient deterioration leading to emergent transfer to an ICU.”
April was a golden month for Travis — he also published a paper on this research in the April 25th issue of the prestigious Journal of the American College of Cardiology, with co-author and second-year internal medicine resident Eric M. Holland, MD. Read more about the publication here.
