Jeffery
J. Meadows, M.D.
Dr. Meadows’ clinical work is based primarily in the pediatric
cardiac catheterization laboratory and on the clinical cardiology service
on the cardiac intensive care and acute care wards. In the catheterization
laboratory, Dr. Meadows performs numerous diagnostic and therapeutic interventional
cardiac catheterizations. He attends on the pediatric cardiology service
for several weeks throughout the year and runs a weekly outpatient clinic
located at the UCSF Parnassus Campus.
Dr. Meadows’ research interests focus on techniques
and clinical outcomes in pediatric interventional cardiology, as well
as quantitative physiologic assessment of ventricular and vascular function,
particularly in the patients with complex single ventricle anatomy. Dr.
Meadows’ interests also include the evaluation and optimization
of pulmonary vascular function in patients with passive pulmonary blood
flow.
