Andrew A. Pellett

Andrew A. Pellett serves as Professor of Cardiopulmonary Science and Physiology and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center's School of Allied Health Professions. A Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer (RDCS) and Fellow of the American Society of Echocardiography (FASE), he holds leadership positions across institutional committees while maintaining active clinical and academic engagement.

His educational foundation includes a B.S. in Biological Science from the University of Vermont (1986) and a Ph.D. in Physiology from Louisiana State University Medical Center (1991). These qualifications underpin his dual expertise in physiological research and diagnostic cardiac imaging.

Research centers on diastolic function assessment through echocardiography, contributing to cardiovascular physiology understanding and non-invasive cardiac diagnostics. His work bridges clinical sonography techniques with physiological mechanisms, particularly in heart chamber relaxation dynamics and hemodynamic evaluation.

Professional recognition includes FASE designation, reflecting significant contributions to echocardiography standards. Committee leadership encompasses institutional academic governance through the Academic Affairs Council and Promotion and Tenure Committee, plus editorial contributions to American Society of Echocardiography guidelines.

Teaching responsibilities cover Cardiopulmonary Physiology, Clinical Echocardiography sequences, Sonography Principles, and Echocardiographic Interpretation courses. His instructional approach integrates physiological theory with hands-on sonography instrumentation training for cardiovascular specialists.

Service commitments include:

• Chair, Academic Affairs Committee (School of Allied Health Professions)
• Chair, Promotion and Tenure Committee (School of Allied Health Professions)
• Chair, Academic Affairs Council (LSU Health Sciences Center)
• Preliminary Editor, Guidelines and Standards (American Society of Echocardiography)
