After his training at Mayo Medical School, he started in Mayo\'s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory doing interventional procedures and treating myocardial infarctions in the Coronary Care Unit.

Dr. Kopecky currently works in Mayo Clinic\'s Cardiovascular Health Clinic, which is the prevention clinic in the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases. He has written numerous articles for peer-reviewed journals and has received multiple \"Teacher of the Year\" awards from Mayo\'s Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and the Department of Internal Medicine. His research interests include the role of inflammation in cardiovascular disease and the role of lifestyle, including diet, exercise, and proper nutrition, in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
