Cardiovascular Core Analysis Laboratory at Stanford University
Medical School. He is a world-renowned expert in interventional
cardiology, and an accomplished inventor, entrepreneur, and
investment fund founder.
Dr. Gibson is President and CEO of the Baim Institute for
Clinical Research, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
and Interventional Cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
Center. He is a cardiovascular researcher, and educator who
pioneered understanding of the “open artery hypothesis” as well as
understanding of the importance of restoring flow downstream in the
capillary bed in the “open microvasculature hypothesis” in a heart
attack.
The newly announced members of the HeartBeam SAB are:
- Charles L. Brown III, MD, CEO of the Piedmont Healthcare
Physician Enterprise, which is made up of Piedmont Heart, Piedmont
Medical Care Corp., the Piedmont Clinic and other clinical

Cardiovascular Services for the Piedmont Heart Institute.
- Tony Das, MD, a nationally recognized board-certified
interventional cardiology specialist, leader, and educator in the
field of cardiovascular diseases. Dr. Das founded Connected
Cardiovascular Care in Dallas, the first Cardiology practice in the
country dedicated to individualizing each patient’s care with
state-of-the-art remote digital monitoring technology. Dr. Das is
the Chief of Strategic Planning and Development and Medical
Director of Digital Health, Innovation and Endovascular Services
for Baylor Scott and White, The Heart Hospital Enterprise
Plano.
- Robert Harrington, MD, Dean of Weill Cornell Medicine
and provost for medical affairs of Cornell University. Dr.
Harrington was previously chair of the Department of Medicine at
Stanford University and is a past president of the American Heart
Association. He is an accomplished cardiologist, with research
areas of focus that include evaluating antithrombotic therapies to
treat acute ischemic heart disease and trying to better understand
and improve upon the methodology of clinical research.
- Campbell Rogers, MD, Executive Vice President and Chief
Medical Officer at HeartFlow Inc. Dr. Rogers is an interventional
cardiologist with a wealth of experience in research, teaching, and
in industry. He previously served as Chief Scientific Officer and
Global Head of Research and Development at Cordis Corporation,
Johnson & Johnson, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard
Medical School, and Director of the Cardiac Catheterization and
Experimental Cardiovascular Interventional Laboratories at Brigham
and Women’s Hospital.
- Niraj Varma, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine and
consultant electrophysiologist at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Varma
specializes in the treatment of heart arrhythmias, with interests
in ablation for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia,
defibrillator implantation, and biventricular pacing. He has led
first clinical use of several novel technologies e.g.,
electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI), cardiac resynchronization
algorithms, and cryoablation. He pioneered the application of
remote monitoring of implantable devices, chairing the landmark
TRUST randomized trial. The results have been pivotal and
adopted widely to improve the care of patients receiving such
cardiac devices worldwide. He has served on Heart Rhythm Society
Scientific and clinical documents and Digital Health committees. He
is past President of the International Society of Holter and
Non-Invasive Electrocardiography. He has developed and chaired
