Dr. Stein is a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Diseases. Dr. Stein also is a Diplomate of the National Board of Echocardiography in Adult Comprehensive Echocardiography and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, the American Society of Echocardiography, and the American College of Physicians. He received the American College of Cardiology W. Proctor Harvey Young Teacher Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dr. Stein has been named one of Madison's “Top Docs” in Cardiology by Madison Magazine since 2000 and in 2007 was named one of the 20 best cardiologists in America by Men's Health Magazine.
Dr. Stein was Co-Chairman of the 2006 American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Sessions and was Chairman of the American Society of Echocardiography Carotid IMT Task Force. He is Chairman of the HIV Medical Association/Infectious Disease Society of America Guidelines Committee for the Evaluation And Management of Dyslipidemia In HIV-Infected Adults Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy.
Dr. Stein's research interests include ultrasound assessment of atherosclerosis, endothelial function, and clinical trials in preventive cardiology. Specific interests include the detection and characterization of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with sleep apnea, tobacco use, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the use of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements for determination of “vascular age” and cardiovascular risk prediction.
