Dr. Frick's research interests include perioperative cardiovascular care for patients receiving abdominal organ transplants, the effects of cirrhosis on the cardiovascular system, quality improvement, and smart health devices
Specific cardiovascular areas of interest in patients with cirrhosis include cardiac catheterization techniques and dual antiplatelet therapy in patients with coagulopathy due to cirrhosis, optimal approach for risk assessment, and coronary revascularization during pre-transplant evaluations, and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, which is a highly prevalent cardiomyopathy unique to patients with cirrhosis, though under-recognized and poorly understood.
