Team Easy Peds Pulse is highly motivated in implementing novel methods for performing functional echocardiographic evaluations in children. The members of the team have successfully collaborated on many projects involving fetal myocardial deformation imaging, fetal computational modeling, pediatric echocardiographic evaluation of systolic and diastolic function in high risk patient populations such as offspring of diabetic mothers, obese and hypertensive children and in children with cardiomyopathies.
