Professional Statement

My clinical interests involve providing comprehensive care to patients with cardiomyopathies and all forms of congenital heart disease including those with the most complex hearts and/or those who may need advanced therapies including mechanical circulatory support devices and/or organ transplantation.

My research interests involve investigations into the outcomes in adult congenital heart disease; heart failure in adult congenital heart disease; Fontan circulation; and translational research to bring new and innovative therapies to improve and prolong the lives of patients with congenital heart disease.
