个人简介
Professor Spence has focused on prevention of stroke throughout his career. He pioneered the measurement of 2-dimensional carotid total plaque area beginning in 1990, and since 1994 has collaborated with Dr. Aaron Fenster and Dr. Grace Parraga at the Robarts Research Institute in measurement of 3D plaque volume. He also pioneered a new approach to vascular prevention - “treating arteries instead of treating risk factors”, that has markedly reduced risk among high-risk patients with carotid stenosis. His research program focuses on measurement of atherosclerosis by ultrasound, for patient management, genetic research and for assessing effects of new therapies. Other areas of expertise include vitamin therapy for homocysteine, the clinical pharmacology of stroke prevention, physiologically individualized therapy for resistant hypertension and identification of high-risk asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Despite a busy clinical practice, his publications include 4 books, 256 papers, 42 chapters, 47 editorials and 73 letters to Editors, with an H-index of 55. He has been a member of the executive or operations committees of several NIH-funded trials including the NASCET, ACE, and VISP trials, and is presently a member of the Steering Committee and country leader for Canada of the NIH-funded trial on Insulin Resistance in Stroke study (IRIS), and a member of the Leadership Committee of the American Heart Association (AHA) Council on Peripheral Vascular Disease. He was a member of the board of the Canadian Hypertension Society, and of the Leadership Committee of the AHA Stroke Council, and is a member of the International Societies of Stroke, Hypertension and Atherosclerosis. He was an Assistant Editor of Stroke from 2000-2010, and is presently a member of the editorial boards of three AHA journals: Stroke, Hypertension and Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis & Vascular Biology.
