Cecilia Lazea MD, PhD is a Associate Professor of Pediatrics based in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Her expertise is pediatric cardiology, and she has made significant contributions to the field through her research and clinical practice. She has exploredthe genetic factors involved in the development of congenital heart defects, and her research sheds light on transcription factors and signaling molecules that play crucial roles in cardiac development. She has participated in large-scale studies examining low atrial rhythm in children. Dr. Lazea evaluated circulating chitotriosidase activity in children with obesity, providing insights into potential biomarkers related to metabolic health. She also collaborated on research investigating anatomical-MRI correlations in both adults and children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
