Research
Dr. Bisognano's research focuses on cardiovascular risk factor reduction, with a particular interest on improving compliance with the national guidelines for the treatment of hypertension. He is also interested in the etiology of hypertensive urgencies and emergencies, including the development of evidence-based treatment protocols for office patients with severely elevated blood pressure but no evidence of ongoing target organ damage. Additionally, he is interested in a community-based education program in the evaluation and treatment of hypertension, noting that only a small fraction of patients with hypertension achieve the blood pressure goals suggested by the national guidelines.
Dr. Bisognano is Upstate Governor for the New York American College of Cardiology through March 31, 2012. He is also the President, of the New York Cardiological Society, effective September 30, 2010 – March 31, 2012, and the President of the New York Chapter, American College of Cardiology, present to September 30, 2010 through March 31, 2012.

URMC partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website.
