Professor Arvind Sehgal

Professor Arvind Sehgal, Neonatalogist at Monash Newborn, Monash Children's Hospital has been invited to Chair and speak at the prestigious Annual Congress of the Pediatric Academic Societies in San Francisco later this month. 

Professor Sehgal’s session, 'Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Cardiovascular journey from fetal life through to adolescence' will cover cardiac and vascular manifestations of intrauterine growth restriction across age groups and discuss public health importance and putative interventions.

“It is a matter of great prestige and honour to be invited to present to ‘the Society’”, Professor Sehgal said.

“My session will explore how the heart and the vessels adapt to intrauterine growth restriction. The presentations include opportunities for early detection and preventive therapies.”

“The session and the invitation to chair puts Monash Children's Hospital and Monash University on the world map of perinatal medicine,” he said.
