Research Interests

1) Alkaline phosphatase in infant cardiopulmonary bypass: In 2012 our group identified an unexpected finding of markedly decreased alkaline phosphatase activity immediately following cardiothoracic surgery in infants with congenital heart disease. Lower alkaline phosphatase activity was strongly associated with increased intensity and duration of post-operative support. Given recent studies demonstrating potential novel protective effects of alkaline phosphatase such as dephosphorylation of endotoxin and extracellular adenine nucleotides, we became intrigued about alkaline phosphatase as a potential therapy to prevent intestinal and kidney injury following cardiac surgery in our high risk patients with congenital heart disease. I was awarded a K23 grant from the NIH/NHLBI to further assess alkaline phosphatase as a biomarker in this population as well as a potential therapeutic target to aid in clearance of harmful extracellular adenine nucleotides and endotoxin. I have also recently developed a large animal model of infant cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest funded by the American Heart Association and Department of Defense in order to both test novel therapeutics (including alkaline phosphatase) as well as to study the mechanisms of post-operative multi-organ injury. a.

Alkaline Phosphatase Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury in an Infant Piglet Model of Cardiopulmonary Bypass with Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest. Scientific Reports 2019. 2) Biomarkers and associated outcomes after infant cardiothoracic surgery: I began research in this area by examining the utility of procalcitonin to distinguish the post-operative systemic inflammatory response from post-operative infection in 70 infants undergoing cardiothoracic surgery. I have also explored CD73 levels in our infants as an adjunct to my work with alkaline phosphatase and adenosine metabolism. In my most expansive biomarker work to date, I leveraged my K23 cohort to begin exploring the global metabolic shift that occurs following infant cardiac surgery. These findings were recently published in Journal of the American Heart Association. a. Davidson J, Tong S, Hauck A, Lawson DS, Jaggers J, Kaufman J, Da Cruz E.

J Am Heart Assoc. 2018;7:e010711. 3) Biomarkers of ventricular remodeling and pulmonary vascular development in congenital heart disease: In this new research area, my colleague Dr. Benjamin Frank and I are working to understand the critical molecular pathways involved in pathologic ventricular and pulmonary vascular development in patients with congenital heart disease. We began work by evaluating left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling ~1 year after surgical repair of left sided obstructive lesions. The data from that project have been published, identifying endothelin-1 as a novel potential biomarker in this disease. More recently, we began a larger project exploring endothelin-1 in the single ventricle heart disease population as well as the metabolomic and proteomic patterns associated with poor pulmonary blood vessel growth prior to stage 2 palliation and post-operative hypoxemia. This project was awarded an AHA Innovative Award and the enrolled cohort will be followed longitudinally through the Fontan operation. a.

Congenit Heart Dis. 2019 Jan 16. 4) Post-operative care in infants undergoing cardiac surgery: My initial interest in the study of post-operative care focused on vasoactive/inotropic support in the post-operative period. From a sub-analysis of my procalcitonin cohort I was able to validate the vasoactive-inotropic score initially reported by Gaies, et al., which we have now also validated in pediatric sepsis. Over the past two years I helped spearhead a multicenter collaborative, funded by the Gerber Foundation, that leverages automated data extraction to explore multiple aspects of repeated measure intensive care variables in our post-operative patients. The five centers involved have collected data on fluid, ventilator, and sedation practices in over 500 infants undergoing the Norwood procedure. a.

Care Philosophy
My clinical practice consists of a wonderful combination of pediatric cardiology, pediatric cardiac intensive care, and advanced pediatric echocardiography. I completed a 5-year double fellowship in pediatric cardiology and pediatric critical care in 2013. During that time, I also received advanced training in pediatric transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. I received board certification for both subspecialties in 2014. Currently I practice in both the cardiac intensive care unit and the echocardiography lab at CHCO, the only physician practicing in both fields. First and foremost, I am a physiologist. Our complex congenital heart disease patients represent a tremendous and ever-changing physiologic challenge. Pre and post-operation, the intricate cardiac physiology interacts with a whole body ischemia-reperfusion insult (bypass and surgery) to throw our kids’ bodies into a state of controlled chaos. On any given day in the unit you might need to serve as a pulmonologist, a nephrologist, a neurologist, an anesthesiologist, a gastroenterologist, or an infectious disease physician in addition to working on the heart. The weeks on service are physically and emotionally exhausting but I can’t imagine a better job! The impact we can have on these children, who in many cases would have not survived even 20 years ago, is amazing. I can’t easily describe the experience of seeing a child running around clinic, who 2-3 years before had battled on a daily basis just to survive. Many people ask how my echocardiography role can possibly relate to my time in the intensive care unit. I see the echo probe as an outstanding mechanism to interrogate and broaden my understanding of the physiology of our patients. I particularly specialize in intraoperative and ICU imaging, where echocardiography can detail aspects of the repair and post-operative course that are not easily seen by monitors, lab tests, and clinical exams. Sometimes you just need to see the blood flowing through the heart to best understand how to aid our patients! I find this aspect of my practice to be the perfect complement to my critical care experience.
