Overview
Uyen Truong, MD, specializes in pediatric cardiac non-invasive imaging, with a focus in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography (CT). Her primary research focus over the past decade has been the use of MRIs to derive hemodynamic data that were conventionally obtained from invasive cardiac catheterization measures. She believes that utilization of echocardiograms and MRIs are critical in caring for children and their full capability to understand the state of the disease has yet to be established. Dr. Truong led a team in developing and exploring the utility of 4-dimensional flow MRI in characterizing the vasculature of children at the Children’s Hospital of Colorado. She has received intramural and extramural funding to study the vasculature and deformation in the myocardium of children, including an NIH K23 from NHLBI that focuses on children with pulmonary hypertension. She has also worked in partnership with Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Advanced Vascular Imaging and Psychiatry to study early cardiovascular maladaptive changes associated with adverse childhood events, including trauma and abuse. Adverse childhood events, unfortunately, affects a large proportion of the population. Dr. Truong's team strongly believes that early identification of maladaptive cardiovascular function in response to stress allows for more effective intervention in this cohort of children. They hope through their successful collaboration that they can improve clinical outcomes and affect policies and improve resources allocated for these children.
Dr. Truong is highly rated in 5 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Pulmonary Hypertension, Hypertension, Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), Tetralogy of Fallot, and Osteotomy.
Dr. Truong is board certified in American Board Of Pediatrics, 2012. She is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 66 peer reviewed articles.

Clinical Research
Clinical research consists of overseeing clinical studies of patients undergoing new treatments and therapies, and publishing articles in peer reviewed medical journals. Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Children's National Hospital-Cardiology Clinic At Michigan Avenue

She is the VanMetre Companies endowed chair of fetal cardiology and is medical director of Prenatal Cardiology, director of the Critical Care Delivery Program and Advanced Cardiac Imaging Fellowship, and co-director of the Cardiac Neurodevelopmental Outcome Program. She is the founding president of the Fetal Heart Society, a non-profit international organization created to advance the field of fetal cardiovascular care and science through collaborative research, education and mentorship. Dr. Donofrio is an international expert in fetal cardiology and is known for her work in establishing multidisciplinary protocols for specialized delivery room management of babies diagnosed in utero with complex congenital heart disease. She has collaborated with scientists in the field to study how alterations in the fetal circulation affect in utero brain development as well as to investigate potential treatment strategies to improve neurodevelopmental outcome in babies with congenital heart disease. She has published over 150 papers, including the American Heart Association Scientific Statement on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Fetal Cardiac Disease, the American Society of Echocardiography Guidelines and Recommendations for Performance of the Fetal Echocardiogram, and the Call to Action Report on Prioritizing Delivery Room Care for Neonates with Critical Congenital Heart Disease. Publications: PUBMED. Dr. Donofrio is highly rated in 12 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), Double Aortic Arch, Vascular Ring, Ebstein's Anomaly, and Septoplasty.
