Professor Arvind Sehgal |
Neonatalolgist Arvind Sehgal has been recognised for his research
with an academic promotion at Monash University.
Adjunct Professor Sehgal, Department of Paediatrics, is a
Neonatal Consultant at Monash Children’s Hospital. His recent research focuses
on the cardiac and vascular impact of fetal growth restriction.
“Using advanced ultrasound modalities, we have noted early
vascular ageing in this cohort alongside mal-adaptive coupling with cardiac
function,” said Professor Sehgal.
“Early identification of arterial and ventricular changes
would detect those premature infants at high risk for long term cardiovascular
compromise, and allow early intervention and / or increased monitoring.”
This research also formed the focus of Professor Sehgal’s
recently completed PhD.
Professor Sehgal said his promotion brought cheer amongst
his well-wishers and family, and that was important to him.
He also quoted Abraham Lincoln, “don’t worry when you are
not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.”
Professor Sehgal acknowledges Professor Nick Freezer for his
ongoing guidance and support and Dr Charles Barfield for his constant
encouragement.
