Cardiovascular Disease

Fillmore has investigated the intersection of cardiovascular disease and comorbid conditions, with a particular focus on identifying risk factors for adverse cardiac events in patients with malignancy and end-stage kidney disease. His work has demonstrated that cumulative chronic stress and systemic inflammation contribute to cardiovascular risk, and he has developed machine learning-based scoring systems to improve the prediction of cardiovascular events in oncology settings. These studies emphasize the necessity of integrating cardiovascular risk stratification into the comprehensive care of high-risk patient populations.
