Dr. Philip Levy is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and a physician in the Division of Newborn Medicine here at Boston Children’s Hospital. His patient-oriented and translational research initiatives focus on cardiac mechanics in  congenital and acquired cardiopulmoanry diseases in the neonatal and pediatric  population. His professional activities span the realm of clinical service, research and teaching. Dr. Levy’s research is part of a larger international collaborative that was established to examine emerging measures of cardiac function and pulmonary hemodynamics in large preterm birth cohorts to define physiological and pathological patterns of postnatal cardiac adaptation. Phil and his collaborators have introduced novel approaches for non-invasive quantitative cardiac focused imaging that yield sensitive and specific methods of assessment and management of neonatal cardiopulmonary diseases. At NeoHeart Dr. levy will be talking about the respiratory phenotype that presents immediately following definitive closure of the PDA. In addition, he will ask be sharing insight about Postnatal cardiac adaptation following selective laser therapy for twin to twin transfusion. Find out more about Philip and this episode at: www.the-incubator.org________________________________________________________________________________________As always, feel free to send us questions, comments or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.
