Specializations
Congenital Heart Disease
The investigator’s work centers on congenital heart disease and its surgical and interventional management in infants and children.
- Structural cardiac anomalies
- Post‑operative outcomes
- Long‑term growth and development
Emphasis is placed on refining treatment pathways that improve survival and quality of life.
Pediatric Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure
Research addresses pediatric cardiomyopathy and the spectrum of heart failure presentations, including preserved and reduced ejection fraction phenotypes.
- Genetic and metabolic etiologies
- Therapeutic optimization for HFpEF
- Device‑based support strategies
Clinical investigations aim to define disease trajectories and tailor interventions for young patients.
Vascular and Metabolic Risk in Youth
The investigator explores early-onset hypertension, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction as contributors to cardiovascular morbidity.
- Blood pressure regulation
- Insulin resistance in adolescents
- Preventive lifestyle programs
Studies seek to identify modifiable risk factors before adult disease manifests.
Cardiac Involvement in Autoimmune Disorders
Focused investigations assess cardiac complications of systemic autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus and anti‑GBM disease.
- Inflammatory myocarditis
- Vascular inflammation
- Impact of immunomodulatory therapy
Outcomes are measured to improve multidisciplinary care for affected children.
Cardiovascular Imaging and Biomarker Development
Efforts include advancing cardiac imaging techniques and identifying circulating biomarkers that reflect disease activity.
- Advanced echocardiography
- Magnetic resonance imaging protocols
- Biomarker panels for early detection
These tools support precise diagnosis and monitoring across pediatric cardiac conditions.
