About the Author

Dr. Mathew is a leading researcher, clinician, and educator on TEE and directs TEE services at Duke University Medical Center, which has an excellent cardiac anesthesia division. He is also Director of Neurological Outcomes for the Duke University Heart Center. He trained directly under the great Paul Barash and has authored over 75 original research papers and contributed chapters to many standard anesthesia books, most of which were co-authored with Dr. Barash. He serves on the Interoperative TEE committee for the American Society for Echocardiography and speaks frequently on TEE at national conferences (ASE, Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesia).
