Specific Skills and Interests
As a pediatrician, cardiologist and researcher, I have been pursuing more projects with clinical or basic orientations within a multidisciplinary "bedside to bench to bedside" environment to study related medical questions.
My training and background in cardiology
1. Cardiac Critical Care, e.g. arrhythmias and congestive heart failure.
2. Interventional Catheterization for cardiovascular defects.
3. Doppler echocardiography for cardiovascular defects and functions.
4. Electrophysiology and Exercise physiology for arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.
5. Preventative cardiology, e.g. Kawasaki Diseases.
6. Cardiomyopathy and Transplantation immunology.
My interests:
1. Cell- and gene- based therapy.
2. Echocardiography and MRI for cardiovascular phenotyping
3. Cardiac Catheterization application.
4. SAECG of computer technologies for monitoring Electrophysiology.
