Dr. Palardy is an advanced heart failure, mechanical support and heart transplant specialist who finds great professional satisfaction in making a difference in the lives of her patients through all phases of their treatment. The multidisciplinary nature of her work allows her to be deeply involved in the many aspects of patient care, and at the same time to contribute to medical education through research. Her main research interests are regarding timing and selection of patients for mechanical circulatory support devices, refining advanced heart failure population prognosis and characteristics, as well as understanding early changes in myocardial function/strain in patients at risk for cardiomyopathy such as neuromuscular disease.
