He also has been principle the investigator of 15 national and international trials, including the first NIH-sponsored trial that compared angioplasty with bypass surgery. In addition, Dr. King is a passionate researcher and author of over 500 papers. Through this unremitting endeavor and his profound insight, he has continued his commitment as the editor-in-chief of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.
