Biography
Nihar Desai, MD, MPH, is a cardiovascular medicine specialist, treating patients with complex cardiovascular conditions, including acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and arrhythmias.
Dr. Desai’s research explores opportunities to improve the quality of care, the impact of decision support tools on care patterns, and how different models of care affect quality, outcomes, and cost of care. He leads clinical trials and real world studies using administrative and clinical datasets to conduct hypothesis driven research of importance to patients, providers, payers, and policymakers.
Dr. Desai is an associate professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine.

Biography
Nihar Desai, MD, MPH, is a cardiovascular medicine specialist, treating patients with complex cardiovascular conditions, including acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and arrhythmias.
Dr. Desai’s research explores opportunities to improve the quality of care, the impact of decision support tools on care patterns, and how different models of care affect quality, outcomes, and cost of care. He leads clinical trials and real world studies using administrative and clinical datasets to conduct hypothesis driven research of importance to patients, providers, payers, and policymakers.
Dr. Desai is an associate professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine.
