Sushma Reddy, MD

Overview:
“The Neglected Right Heart”

Objectives:
To increase awareness and education for pediatric providers

Dr. Sushma Reddy is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University with expertise in cardiovascular intensive care caring for pre and post-operative and critically ill children and adults. The increasing incidence of heart failure amongst children surviving palliation of congenital heart surgery, brought the neglected right ventricle to the forefront. To better understand why the right ventricle fails and why it does not respond to standard left heart failure therapies, Dr. Reddy’s lab moved into cardiovascular phenotyping and developed mouse models of congenital heart disease that recapitulate abnormal loading conditions on the heart, physiologic monitoring and imaging, and now have extensive experience in both in-vivo and in-vitro models. She has used these models to advance the understanding of the mechanisms of right heart failure in children and adults with congenital heart disease with the long-term goal of identifying noninvasive diagnostic tools to better assess right ventricular health and to develop right ventricle specific therapeutics.
