Pascal Amedro, MD, PhD, is a senior pediatric cardiologist and researcher at Children’s National Hospital’s Heart and Lung Center, professor of pediatrics at the George Washington University and Dunn Distinguished Professor of Cardiac Research. His main research activities have focused on evaluating and improving health-related quality of life in children and adults with congenital heart disease, with a special interest in physical activity, aerobic fitness and drug trials in rare cardiac diseases. He has validated the pediatric Z-score VO2max reference values from an international cohort of more than 1100 pediatric CPET. One of his main projects is the QUALI-REHAB program using RCT design to test various center and/or home-based cardiac rehabilitation interventions dedicated to children and young adults with chronic diseases (congenital heart diseases, inherited cardiac disorders, childhood cancer, patients with neurodevelopmental disorders, etc.).
