Senior Core Scientist (Full Status) ICES Central Cardiovascular Research Program
Dr. Ko is a senior scientist at ICES, an interventional cardiologist at the Schulich Heart Centre of Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, and a professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. Despite the dramatic advances in cardiovascular medicine in the last several decades, there remains uncertainty about the application of these advances, particularly in many subgroups of patients that are not generally enrolled in clinical trials.
