Professional Statement
I am a Pediatric Cardiologist with subspecialty training in pediatric cardiovascular imaging and advanced training in public health research. I have special interests in both cardiovascular genetics and fetal cardiology. In addition to my fetal cardiology patients, I really enjoy and am honored to care for patients with Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Turner syndrome, vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and other genetic conditions in the TCH Cardiovascular Genetics Clinic. I also interpret fetal echocardiography, pediatric echocardiography, and cardiac MRI studies. In 2012, we began to perform fetal cardiac intervention at Texas Children's Hospital, and I am fortunate to a be an integral part of this multidisciplinary team that performs fetal aortic valvuloplasty, fetal atrial septal interventions, and maternal hyperoxygenation for fetal left heart hypoplasia.
Clinical research is another large part of my work, and I run and am involved in multiple research projects locally and nationally that try to determine how to identify who is high risk for cardiac events and how to improve outcomes in young patients with congenital heart disease and genetic conditions affecting the heart.

A Biomarker to Predict Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Aortopathy
#1 R21 HL121630-01A1 - $150,000.00 (07/01/2014 - 07/01/2016)
- Grant funding from National Institutes of Health-NHLBI
- Collaborating with the National Registry of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Cardiovascular Conditions (GenTAC), we are investigating the relationship between vascular tortuosity as detected by Magnetic Resonance Angiography or Computed Tomography Angiography and outcomes in children and young adults with aortic disease, including Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Turner syndrome, Familial Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections, and bicuspid aortic valve.
-
Maternal Hyperoxygenation in Fetal Left Heart Hypoplasia
- $25,000.00 (10/22/2013)
- Grant funding from ÌÇÐÄvlogÃÛÌÒ of Medicine Cardiovascular Research Institute
- We are investigating the potential role of maternal oxygen delivery to improve fetal left heart hypoplasia.

National Registry Of Genetically Triggered Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms And Cardiovascular Conditions, Phase II (GENTAC II)
#HHSN268200648199C and HHSN268210 - Grant funding from National Institutes of Health - NHLBI and NIAMS
- The purpose of GenTAC is to establish a registry of patients with genetic conditions that may be related to thoracic aortic aneurysms and to collect medical information and biologic samples. The samples and information will be available to researchers to help identify the best medical practices and to advance the clinical management of genetic thoracic aortic aneurysms and other cardiovascular complications. Over 3,750 participants have been enrolled in the registry since 2006.
