He also was a member of the Practice Executive Committee and a member of the St. Francis Heart Center Cardiac Operations Group. EHART® is a specialized triage and treatment protocol developed by Dr. Khot to reduce the time-to-treatment for heart attack patients who come to the emergency room. This protocol has led not only to improved time-to-treatment but also to an increased rate of survival after the heart attack. The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology have recognized this protocol as a major advance in heart attack care.

Dr. Khot is a world expert in the design of heart attack systems of care with his work being highlighted by multiple medical journals and the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology.
