Dr. Evans is excited to be back in Portland practicing with Pacific Heart Associates based primarily at Legacy Emanuel. Dr. Evans advocates for utilization of cardiac resynchronization in all eligible patients because he feels that his research in shock reduction provides another compelling reason in addition to improvements in mortality and heart failure hospitalizations.
