Biography
Dr. Marco Perez's research goal is to better understand the fundamental causes of cardiovascular disease through the study of genetics and epidemiology. His group studies the genetic variations and environmental exposures that are associated with conditions such as atrial fibrillation and heart failure. He has led the studies of atrial fibrillation in Women's Health Initiative, one of the largest nation-wide population-based cohorts. He is currently conducting a large study monitoring for silent or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation in women from the WHI randomized to exercise intervention, and is co-PI in the Apple Heart Study, a clinical trial using the Apple Watch to screen for atrial fibrillation. He is interested in understanding the paradox that atrial fibrillation is less common in African Americans and Hispanics, despite a greater burden of risk factors such as hypertension. As director of the Stanford Inherited Arrhythmia Clinic, he evaluates families with rare inherited arrhythmias associated with sudden death such as Long QT and Brugada Syndromes and explores their links with novel genes. He is particularly interested in studying the genetic causes of very early onset atrial fibrillation. He also studies how best to use the electrocardiogram to identify patients at risk for atrial fibrillation and athletes at risk for life-threatening arrhythmias due to conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. His genetic studies have led to the discovery of promising novel therapeutic targets that his group is now studying at a functional level. Dr. Perez receives funding from NIH/NHLBI (R01), Apple Inc., the Weston Havens Foundation, The Stanford Cardiovascular Division and the Stanford SPARK program.

Everybody did a great job, but especially I would like to mention his Colleen Caleshu and her team.
Dr. Marco Perez is one of the best physicians I've experienced.
Healthcare all around the world was charged drastically over the last 20 years. People became care providers because they had a passion to help others. As a society we do not take good care of ourselves. The need for good, compassionate healthcare providers is at an all time high but there are to many people pursuing healthcare for a career and not because they have a calling. I live in a small town just under 100,000 people and most of the physicians in Chico, CA treat you like cattle than a person. It's because of these experiences many people, like me, do not seek out answers/care to they're HC problems. I've only had 3 appt. @ Stanford and each time I am there I am treated with dignity and respect. To value me, like this, allows me to relax and trust the system Stanford has in place. Keep it up!
Amazing!!! Hard to describe the level of intelligence, kindness and relatability.
Dr. Perez is an excellent physician. I trust him with my care.
Doctor was excellent and spent plenty of time describing my options for future care.
Dr. Perez is outstanding!
Dr. Perez listened to my unusual side effects to medication/Toprol XL. He was considerate and obliging to my request to try to get off med & try a heart monitor (Zio monitor).
Dr. Perez always spends plenty of time with us. Never hurries us.

Everything was great but I was told I would get a call to go over lab results and I'm still waiting I send an e-mail and have not heard back. I have the results on "my health" but I don't know or understand what it all means.
Dr. Perez is one of the best, most competent, knowledgeable doctors I have ever visited. He has given me excellent care these last close to 2 yrs. I will miss him!
Good experience - doctor was great! Just took too long to get to him as a new pt.
