Cardiac Research
Breakthrough Discoveries in Pediatric Cardiovascular Medicine
Cardiac research at 91大神 Children鈥檚 is focused on improving care for children with heart conditions across every stage of life, from prenatal diagnosis to long-term recovery. Our teams are finding safer ways to perform surgery, supporting children with heart failure and transplants, and working to prevent heart disease before it starts.
Across our system, researchers, cardiologists, surgeons, psychologists, and imaging experts work to solve the most pressing challenges in pediatric cardiology. Our teams study how children鈥檚 hearts develop, adapt and respond to treatment, and how to support a child鈥檚 development and emotional well-being along the way.
Key Areas of Research听
Congenital Heart Disease & Surgery | Using听3D modeling, advanced imaging, and outcomes data to plan safer surgeries and improve long-term results.
Fetal & Perinatal Cardiology | Advancing fetal imaging and prenatal counseling to detect and prepare for heart conditions before birth.
Heart Failure, Transplant & Recovery |听Studying transplant outcomes, VADs, and recovery strategies to help children with advanced heart failure thrive.
Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Health | Examining听how heart conditions affect learning, behavior, and emotions, and creating tools to support families along the way.
Prevention & Cardiovascular Genetics | Studying听how genetic and environmental factors contribute to heart conditions, and researching ways to reduce lifelong risk.
Clinical Trials & Research Studies
Our cardiac researchers lead and collaborate on clinical trials that explore innovative ways to care for children with heart disease. These studies cover a wide range of topics, including surgery, transplant, imaging, mental health, and prevention.
We partner with national research networks such as the Pediatric Heart Network, the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4), and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to bring promising innovations to children and families sooner.
