Robin M. Shaw, M.D.

Cardiologist

Dr. Robin Shaw is a cardiologist specializing in acute-care cardiology, coronary artery disease and general cardiology. He has a special interest in the genetics and non-invasive management of cardiac arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats. In addition to caring for patients, Shaw researches the cellular biology of the heart muscle and the basic mechanisms of heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. His goal is to use insights from these studies to develop new therapies for heart disease. Shaw's research is funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association.

Shaw is the author of numerous scientific articles and reviews, as well as the World Book Encyclopedia's sections on cardiovascular circulation and heart failure. Shaw is an assistant professor of medicine at UCSF, and a member of the American Heart Association and the American Society for Cell Biology. Shaw received his medical degree and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
