Frank Smart is a Senior Professor at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans. His research focuses on cardiology, heart failure, critical care, and cardiovascular physiology, with particular emphasis on dilated cardiomyopathy, precision medicine, and circulatory physiology. He leads investigations into the genetic and environmental underpinnings of dilated cardiomyopathy, including alcohol exposure and peripartum cardiomyopathy, through the DCM Consortium and DCM Precision Medicine Study. His recent work also examines implantable hemodynamic monitors, pulmonary artery pressure-guided therapy, and the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors and neprilysin inhibitors in heart failure management. His contributions span nephrology and cardiomyopathy, advancing precision approaches to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment.
