Francesca Nesta Delling, MD, MPH

Associate Professor, Medicine

My lab’s research has focused on mitral valve prolapse or “floppy” mitral valve, and the combined use of echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and molecular genetics to better understand disease mechanisms and progression to either severe mitral regurgitation or life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
