Home to a high-volume, nationally ranked pediatric cardiology program, Riley Children’s Health delivers the full continuum of cardiac care from fetuses and premature infants to adults with congenital heart disease. Achieving exceptional patient outcomes, the Riley Heart Center has experienced significant growth in recent years. In addition to offering specialists in every clinical area of cardiology, we are active in research to address unmet needs in pediatric cardiology. CARDIOLOGY
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded studies R01: Novel Molecular and Cardiac Imaging Paradigms for Precision Medicine in Aortopathy R21: An Integrated and Automated Tool for Quantification of Biomechanics in Fetal and Neonatal Echocardiography Larry W. Markham, MD , is a principal investigator of a $3.6 million NIH grant to improve the detection of heart disease in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Investigators aim to integrate statistical modeling based on advanced imaging to improve the prediction of cardiomyopathy. Major study funded by the Additional Ventures Foundation Metabolic Profiles Identify Circulating Biomarkers Associated With Heart Failure in Young Single Ventricle Patients National program affiliations and accreditations ■ Pediatric cardiac catheterization and ECHO labs accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission ■ Member of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Collaborative ■ Accredited by the Adult Congenital Heart Association 42 research publications in 2023
