OverviewAI-generated summary

Dala Zakaria, Associate Professor in Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, studies pediatric cardiovascular conditions and health outcomes. Her research has investigated risk factors for extended hospital stays in children with coarctation of the aorta and assessed right ventricular function for detecting acute cellular rejection in pediatric heart transplant recipients. Dr. Zakaria has also explored quantitative plasma proteomic analysis in children following superior cavopulmonary anastomosis and examined protein-losing enteropathy in the context of Fontan circulation. Her work further includes investigating coronary sinus ostial obstruction in single-ventricle congenital heart disease and the developmental language trajectories in children with critical congenital heart disease. She has published 44 papers, with an h-index of 8 and 191 total citations. Dr. Zakaria collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Murad Almasri, Markus S. Renno, Joshua Daily, and Stephen T. Dalby.
