Fang\u003c\/strong\u003e, MD, MPH, is an academic hospitalist and assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Her research interest is in how best to prevent stroke in older patients with atrial fibrillation. In particular, her goals are to explore clinical and biological risk factors for stroke, identify the optimal use of anticoagulants to prevent atrial fibrillation-related stroke, and direct attention toward social and behavioral barriers to optimal anticoagulant management. Eventually, she would like to develop interventions directed at improving clinical decision-making regarding anticoagulation therapy for the oldest patients.\u003cbr\u003eDr. Fang trained in internal medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and subsequently completed a research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital, obtaining a Masters of Public Health. She joined the staff at UCSF in 2003, where she is a practicing hospitalist as well as a clinician-investigator. She is currently part of the ATRIA Study Group, an NIA-funded study of warfarin use and outcomes in a large cohort of patients with atrial fibrillation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 September 2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470602119\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e448\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380040953996,"sku":"9780470602119","price":73.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470602119_65f24dda-8661-4e6d-a18c-b2fc3fc92e4c.jpg?v=1780179525","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470602119","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
