My area of interest is echocardiography. I believe that echocardiography is the foundation of cardiology. It is a non-invasive study performed in the office and in the hospital, and it is one of the initial tests that we perform to figure out the abnormal heart structure. It helps us make diagnoses and start working on the management plan.
Furthermore, fetal echocardiography is performed early on in pregnancy to make fetal diagnoses of congenital heart disease as early as possible. This allows me to meet with the families of children with congenital heart disease and explain to them the lesion and management plan before their child is born. I get to follow them through their child's entire life.
