Peter Y. Kim, MD, FACC
Department of Cardiology, Division of Internal Medicine
About Dr. Kim
I have been privileged to work as a Professor in the Department of Cardiology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. I matriculated from a combined BS/MD program at Texas A&M University in 2004. After completing my residency at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick and cardiology fellowship training at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, I joined MD Anderson in September of 2010. I have enjoyed contributing to the growing field of Onco-Cardiology, quality improvement in health care, and serving the mission of MD Anderson to eliminate cancer.
Present Title & Affiliation
Primary Appointment
Professor, Department of Cardiology, Division of Internal Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX
Research Interests
I am engaged in clinical research to investigate observed complications of cancer therapy through cardiac monitoring of cancer patients particularly in the realms of QT prolongation, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and effects of novel anticancer agents such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.
I have also collaborated with others in team science particularly supporting colleagues in investigational therapeutics clinical research.
Clinical Interests
My clinical interests are in quality and process improvement in patient care, particularly in electrocardiography and cardiac monitoring for cancer patients. I serve as the Medical Director of ECG and Holter Monitoring as well as the medical director of Cardiac monitoring/telemetry. I monitor quality control metrics for electrocardiograms (ECG) and holter monitoring to establish consistency and accuracy of reporting.
