Dr. Nesto’s major interest involves heart disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. His contributions have enhanced awareness that coronary artery disease has unique features and that treatment of coronary syndromes in these patients requires a specialized approach. He has conducted numerous studies evaluating the impact of diabetes on cardiac structure and function. He is a Co-principal Investigator of BARI-2D, an NIH trial evaluating various treatment strategies to improve survival in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease. He practices interventional cardiology and his expertise in intracoronary imaging techniques has helped characterize the anatomic substrate underlying acute coronary syndromes and the risk factors for procedural complications.
