Ali Etemadi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Nephrology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a clinician and data scientist focusing on drawing causal inferences from observational data when randomized controlled trials are not feasible. Currently, my work centers on patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease, a rapidly growing population for which evidence is limited due to their frequent exclusion from RCTs. At the moment, I aim to move towards precision medicine approaches to optimize outcomes for these patients.

Susan Payne Etheridge
Adjunct Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Cardiology
BioDr. Etheridge is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist and electrophysiologist. Since beginning her tenure in Pediatric Cardiology, her research focus has centered on Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) and other genetic disorders leading to sudden death in the young. She directed local and multi-center collaborative projects concerning LQTS, supraventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. She has actively participated in multicenter projects of genetic conditions associated with sudden death in the young, including Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT), Timothy Syndrome, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden death in athletes, and fetal LQTS. She was the local PI for multicenter projects on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, fetal and nonfetal LQTS, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Timothy Syndrome and CPVT. She is an an invited speaker at local, national, and international meetings where she speaks largely on the genetic susceptibility to sudden death in the young and WPW. She has published book chapters and invited editorials and articles related to heritable sudden death conditions and sports participation and arrhythmias in congential heart disease.
Her experience as a pediatric electrophysiologist, a Fellow in the Heart Rhythm Society, past present of the Pediatric and Congenital Arrhythmia Society, member of the America College of Cardiology Electrophysiology Committee and Vice President of the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Foundation underscores her interest in and service to children and adults with arrhythmic disease. Her years on the American Board of Pediatrics and her past leadership role within the fellowship speak to her dedication to the next generation of pediatric cardiologitsts. Dr. Etheridge created and led the University of Utah Inherited Arrhythmia clinic. This is a collaborative clinic that focuses on children and adults with familial sudden death conditions with input from genetics, adult and pediatric electrophysiology and child psychology. The goal was the pre-symptomatic assessment and sudden death prevention in patients with inherited arrhythmia conditions and care for the child and the entire family. The team followed the nationally defined protocols for this assessment and engage our research, genetics and adult electrophysiology colleagues in this assessment. She is embarking upon a similar role at Stanford University. As the Vice President of the SADS Foundation, she is intimately involved with families with these conditions. She takes part in and has developed educational seminars concerning these conditions as part of her involvement with SADS. She often faces questions concerning sports participation in children and young adults with inherited conditions that put children at risk for sudden death. She is a part of the writing group for a recently published consensus document on return to play with heart conditions from the Heart Rhythm Society, American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association.
She has dedicated some of her clinical work to the care of adults with arrhytmias in the setting of congenital heart disease and has a clinic for this population in California, Alaska and Idaho. She is scheduled to co-chair the upcoming HRS document on arrhythmia management in adults with congenital heart disease. -
Brady Evans, MD, MBA
Clinical Assistant Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery
Clinical Assistant Professor (By courtesy), Surgery - Plastic & Reconstructive SurgeryBioDr. Evans is an orthopaedic surgeon and a clinical assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery specializing in the treatment of hand and upper extremity conditions. He has extensive training in the full range of orthopaedic treatment approaches, from noninvasive strategies to the most advanced surgical procedures, including peripheral nerve and microvascular surgery.
Among the wide spectrum of conditions that Dr. Evans treats are joint, ligament, and tendon injuries; nerve and vessel disorders; all forms of arthritis; fractures; carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome; and, pediatric and congenital disorders of the hands and upper extremities.
Implementing a comprehensive patient treatment plan usually involves multiple specialists. Dr. Evans collaborates with other team members such as spinal care specialists, rheumatologists, plastic surgeons, and physical and occupational therapists. He also closely coordinates treatment and follow-up with the primary care physicians and emergency medicine physicians, as well as other orthopaedic specialists, who refer patients for his specialized care.
For every patient he sees, he develops a personalized plan of care emphasizing the most conservative treatment possible. The goal of each patient’s care plan is to precisely diagnose the condition, relieve symptoms that may include pain and immobility, and restore use of the affected hand or limb as safely and quickly as possible.
The opportunity to treat diverse, complex conditions from start to finish and help patients return to functionality and mobility are among the key reasons Dr. Evans chose to practice orthopaedic surgery. To help advance his specialty through innovative research initiatives, Dr. Evans has investigated applications of frontier technology such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence to enhance patient care and education. His research interests also include the management of distal radius fractures, surgical decision-making, and costs and outcomes of orthopaedic surgical procedures.
As an author, Dr. Evans has published articles in numerous journals including the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Archives of Surgery, Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, and others. Article topics range from clinical issues to the financial aspects of care. He also has contributed textbook chapters as the primary author of “Fractures of the Distal Radius and Ulna” in Rockwood and Green’s Fractures in Adults, 9th edition and as an author of “Carpal Tunnel Syndrome After Fractures and Other Trauma” in the 2017 edition of the guide Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In addition, he is a reviewer for HAND, the official journal of the American Association for Hand Surgery, and for the Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online.
Dr. Evans makes scientific presentations at major national conferences on a variety of topics: resident education, virtual reality in health care, plus various aspects of clinical care.
He has won honors and recognition for his research and scholarship, including the Richard J. Smith Award from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School for the best clinical/translational paper presentation.
Dr. Evans is board-eligible with the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and American Society for Surgery of the Hand. -
