Beetroot juice improves blood pressure response to exercise in patients with peripheral artery disease
July 22, 2024, In this pilot study funded by an NIH R21 grant, colleagues from Penn State Hershey enrolled 11 patients with PAD and found that 5 days of consuming nitrate-rich beetroot juice did not improve walking performance (compared to beetroot juice without nitrate) but blood pressure at peak exercise was lower and coronary blood flow was improved. This collaboration between Dr. Muller and Dr. David Proctor began in 2015 as a result of the CTSI-sponsored KL2 grant from Penn State. The article recently became available on PubMed.
Dr. Muller appointed as Assistant Professor in the CWRU Center for Medical Education.
On January 13, 2023, Dr. Muller was informed of his new academic appointment at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. In addition to his primary academic appointment as Assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at University Hospitals, Dr. Muller now also has a secondary appointment as Assistant Professor, General Medical Sciences, Center for Medical Education at CWRU.
Dr. Muller gives grand rounds lecture at Mount Sinai- Icahn School of Medicine.
January 24, 2022 On Monday January 24, Dr. Muller gave the grand rounds lecture to cardiology fellows at Mount Sinai in New York City. Former Penn State medical student Alvaro Vargas Pelaez arranged this Zoom talk titled " Adrenergic control of coronary blood flow in humans: basic and translational approaches".
Collaboration with Stanford cardiologists published in JACC: Case Reports.
August 31, 2021 We describe a rare case of medically refractory coronary artery vasospasm associated with genetic predispositions that initially required cardiac autotransplantation followed paradoxically by nicotine for long-term symptomatic control. Dr. Muller met with Dr. Ian Chen via Zoom in November and December of 2020 and this paper was published in August 2021. The citation and website link are below.

Dr. Muller featured in CWRU Faculty Spotlight Blog.
Sept 14, 2020 In his lectures to the Cleveland MSA students, Muller emphasizes the importance of keeping up-to-date with the latest research and medical findings so that their decisions as anesthetists are well-informed and scientifically sound. But his lectures are only the beginning, as Muller is also responsible for the student’s journal club as well as teaching in the operating room.

Jul 5, 2020 In this study, researchers from Penn State Heart and Vascular Institute used focus groups and questionnaires to quantify the motivating factors and barriers to participating in clinical research studies. This project was funded by the Penn State CTSI and also Dr. David Proctor's NIH R21 AG054940. Penn State medical student Kate Levenberg was the first author and Dr. Muller was the senior/ corresponding author. The full text can be read at: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32587692/
