Nader H. Atallah-Yunes, M.D. is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Cardiology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. He practices at Golisano Children's Hospital and specializes in pediatric cardiology, echocardiography (transthoracic, transesophageal, intracardiac, fetal), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

• Education: MD from American University of Beirut (1989)
• Training: Pediatric Residency at SUNY Upstate University Hospital (1990-1993); Fellowships in Pediatric Cardiology at University Hospital-SUNY (1993-1997) and Boston Children's Hospital (2003-2004)

His research focuses on congenital heart disease and cardiovascular surgical outcomes, with emphasis on balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty, aortic coarctation repair, and surgical strategies for physiologic blood pressure management. Publications span topics like vascular hemodynamics, postoperative evaluation of tetralogy of Fallot repairs, and the role of molecular pathways in cardiac function.

Recent studies (2019-1996) explore long-term outcomes in congenital heart interventions, diagnostic imaging techniques (including aortic arch hypoplasia detection), and molecular mechanisms (e.g., aryl hydrocarbon receptor in cardiac physiology). His work has been published in journals such as Circulation, The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, and Pediatric Cardiology Today.
