Elaine M Urbina , MD,MS

As Director of Preventive Cardiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, my clinical activities and industry sponsored grants focus on prevention (obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemias) while my research grants (AHA, NIH) and masters in epidemiology training concentrate on new non-invasive methods of assessing atherosclerotic CV target organ damage in youth related to CV risk factors especially those that cluster with obesity.  I have over 20 years of experience in non-invasive imaging of CV structure and function in large epidemiologic studies such as the Bogalusa Heart Study.  I am PI of a National Institutes of Health grant (NHLBI R01) following the cardiac and vascular effects of obesity and type 2 diabetes on adolescents and am a member of the International Childhood CV Cohorts Consortium that will be following Bogalusa, Muscatine, Young Finns and other cohorts that collected CV risk factor data in children starting over 40 years ago with the participants now entering middle age.  I also supply training and/or direct the Vascular Imaging Core for many multi-center pediatric studies including TODAY2 (type 2 diabetes), SEARCH 3 (type 1 diabetes), CKiD (chronic kidney disease) and other grants funded by NIH’s Pediatric Heart Network
