Le Bonheur's Heart Institute is at the forefront of research for children with a variety of heart conditions including the latest methods of PDA closure, cardio-oncology and the effects of chemotherapy on the heart and the genetic factors of cardiomyopathy. We are committed to finding the latest therapies and breakthroughs for children with congenital heart defects.
Our Research
- Outcomes in children with left ventricular (LV) noncompaction
- Mitral valve function in LV noncompaction
- Electrophysiological aspects of LV noncompaction
- Genetic and mechanistic basis of LV noncompaction
- Genetic and mechanistic basis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies
- Electrophysiological aspects of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies: molecular basis
- Renal function monitoring in heart transplant patients: Is cystatin C a better biomarker than creatinine?
