This summer, Dr. Stacy Chu begins her research on seasonal patterns in stroke in partnership with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
The AHA/ASA Young Investigator Database Research Award is a seed grant given to three selected applicants per cycle, a joint effort from the Council on Clinical Cardiology, the Stroke Council, The Council on Cardiopulmonary, Critical Care, Perioperative and Resuscitation (AHA Council 3 CPR), and The Council on Basic Cardiovascular Science. Dr. Chu will investigate the temporal changes in incidence and outcomes of stroke through analysis of the “Stroke Get With the Guidelines” database, in an effort to better understand the epidemiological basis of the disease.
Dr. Chu is a third-year resident on the research track, which maximizes elective time for research in senior years.
