Zaheda Sadighy

Zaheda Sadighy serves as a Researcher at Erasmus MC within the Department of General Practice, contributing to the Erasmus University Medical Center's cardiovascular research initiatives in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Her research concentrates on advanced cardiovascular imaging methodologies, specializing in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications for pediatric populations with congenital heart defects. She investigates ventricular size/function quantification, reproducibility of imaging metrics, and multivendor postprocessing standardization. Her work bridges clinical cardiology with computational analysis to enhance diagnostic precision in congenital heart disease management.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent focus on establishing pediatric cardiac MRI reference values and automated analysis frameworks. Her 2023 study addresses cross-vendor compatibility challenges in biventricular assessment, while the 2020 multicentre work establishes age-specific normative data. Both contributions advance standardization in pediatric cardiac imaging protocols and clinical implementation.
