Howard Weber

Howard Weber, MD is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, affiliated with the Children's Heart Group and Pediatric Cardiovascular Research Center. His clinical and research focus centers on complex congenital heart disease interventions.

His research spans pediatric cardiology with specialization in

• Neonatal and infant interventional catheterization
• Fontan procedure complications
• Critical aortic valve stenosis management
• Patent ductus arteriosus interventions
• Transcatheter device closures for vascular anomalies

His work addresses Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) through innovations in congenital heart defect treatments.

Analysis of his 52 research outputs (1988-2022) reveals consistent contributions to interventional pediatric cardiology, particularly in catheter-based neonatal procedures (22-year longitudinal studies) and novel approaches to complex anatomical variants like intrapulmonary duplicating drainage. His 2015 transcarotid valvuloplasty study remains highly influential with 20 Scopus citations.

With an h-index of 20 and 1,254 total citations, his scholarly impact is quantifiable though formal awards are not documented in the source material.

Dr. Weber leads research within the Pediatric Cardiovascular Research Center, collaborating internationally as evidenced by multi-center studies and six closely related research profiles. His clinical work through the Children's Heart Group focuses on translating catheterization lab innovations to bedside care for neonates and infants.
