Clinical/Research Interest

Dr. Hsue’s primary interest is in arrhythmias and cardiac electrophysiology, with the goal of advancing three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping and noninvasive cardiac radioablation for the treatment of tachyarrhythmias in dogs. He also has collaborative partnerships to evaluate new diagnostic and therapeutic technologies on clinically relevant translational research models. His additional interests include three-dimensional echocardiography and interventional procedures.

Biography

After witnessing the lack of regular animal health services while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Benin, West Africa, Dr. Hsue became inspired to pursue veterinary medicine and obtained his veterinary degree from the University of California – Davis. He subsequently completed a small animal rotating internship at The Ohio State University and a cardiology residency back at the University of California – Davis, after which he became board-certified in cardiology by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. Recognizing the potential of the intersecting role of veterinarians in translational research, he then underwent a translational research fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania where he had the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge research on models of human arrhythmic diseases. He hopes to apply his newly acquired knowledge and skills to extend similar advanced treatment options to our animal companions.
