During her tenure, CHONY has quitipled the number of VADs used as a bridge to transplantation or recovery. She is is an integral part of the Program for Pediatric Cardiomyopathy, Heart Failure and Transplantation. She specializes in caring for children with end stage heart failure secondary to congenital or acquired cardiomyopathies, failed palliated or non-palliated terminal congenital heart disease, and acquired cardiac disorders. Her clinical and research interests are focused upon evaluating the use of ventricular assist devices for children with acute decompensated heart failure. She is the Site Co- Principal Investigator in a national trial evaluating the use of newer ventricular assist devices in small children (Pumps in kids infants and neonates, PumpKIN). Following completion of an Advanced Fellowship in Pediatric Heart Failure Cardiomyopathy and Transplantation at Texas Children’s Hospital, Dr. Law previously worked at Seattle Children’s Hospital, where she helped build the Pediatric VAD program.
