Arielle Desir presents progress of the QUALISYSTEMIC study
International recognition for pediatric cardiology research
The QUALIREHAB Consortium celebrates the outstanding presentation by Arielle Desir, MPH, at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions, one of the world's most important scientific forums in cardiovascular health.
In her presentation, Arielle Desir shared the progress of the QUALISYSTEMIC study, conveying a topic of high clinical and methodological complexity with rigor, clarity and energy.
The expansion of QUALIREHAB in the United States
This scientific participation reflects the international reach of the QUALIREHAB network, the result of transatlantic collaboration between leading European and American institutions such as Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. and The George Washington University, under the scientific direction of Prof. Pascal Amedro.
The QUALIREHAB program and its associated studies take a multidimensional approach to cardiopulmonary fitness, mental health and quality of life in children, adolescents and young people with congenital heart disease and other chronic conditions.
Key points
- High-level scientific outreach: a presentation at the AHA annual congress, noted for explaining a complex clinical model in a clear and engaging way.
- International reach: consolidation of the joint work between the European consortium and research centers in the United States.
- Patient-centered approach: progress in the multidisciplinary evaluation of cardiopulmonary fitness and health-related quality of life in people with a systemic right ventricle.
