Overview

Vascular disease can affect every organ in the body, and if left undiagnosed or untreated, can lead to strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, and blockages of blood flow to the arms and legs. My clinical and research interests, therefore, have been focused on understanding how high BP, elevated cholesterol and chronic inflammation can affect blood vessels and to find new ways to help keep vessels healthy.

Dr. Liao is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Arrhythmias. His top areas of expertise are Pulmonary Edema, Heart Failure, Angina, Cardiogenic Shock, and Pacemaker Implantation.

His clinical research consists of co-authoring 4 peer reviewed articles. MediFind looks at clinical research from the past 15 years.
