 David F. Teitel, M.D.
Dr. Teitel is the chief of the division of Pediatric Cardiology and the medical director of the UCSF Pediatric Heart Center. His 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. Teitel performs many diagnostic and therapeutic interventional cardiac catheterizations. He attends on the pediatric cardiology service for 2 months per year and runs a weekly outpatient clinic.
Dr. Teitel's research interests focus on the evaluation of normal developmental changes in cardiac function, and on the effects of various pathophysiologic processes on the function of the developing heart. The evaluation of systolic and diastolic function is carried out using instantaneous volume and pressure measurements to derive function loops in the pressure volume plane, and transfer of these technologies to the cardiac catheterization laboratory is a current focus of Dr. Teitel's research.
