Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Leo Lopez"
- Leo Lopez's recent research primarily focuses on improving pediatric echocardiography practices and outcomes, particularly through the use of technology such as virtual reality to mitigate anxiety in children during echocardiograms, and the development of a Pediatric Echocardiography Complexity Score for better stratification in congenital heart disease.
- He has been involved in quality improvement initiatives that include enhancing the accuracy and appropriateness of cardiovascular imaging techniques for children with congenital heart disease, as well as introducing advanced modalities like three-dimensional echocardiography into routine practice.
- Additionally, Lopez's work addresses broader healthcare issues, such as the impact of external funding (e.g., Paycheck Protection Program loans) on nursing home staffing patterns, and the development of guidelines and standardization of terms in pediatric cardiac care to promote more consistent and effective treatment protocols.
