OverviewAI-generated summary

Amna Qasim's research focuses on cardiovascular health, with a particular emphasis on congenital heart defects, pregnancy-related cardiovascular issues, and pulmonary hypertension. Her work includes investigations into the utility of exercise stress testing for risk stratification in patients with anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery and the use of specific pharmacological agents, such as milrinone and sildenafil, in managing conditions like persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn and bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension.

Qasim has also examined the long-term cardiovascular risks associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension and the impact of antenatal interventions, like magnesium sulfate exposure, on premature infants. Her publications include case reports and retrospective studies, contributing to the understanding of rare complications and diagnostic challenges in pediatric cardiology and maternal-fetal medicine. She has published 52 papers, with 115 citations, and maintains an h-index of 6.
