Nicole Cresalia MD

Dr. Nicole Cresalia is a pediatric cardiologist with expertise in pediatric, fetal and transesophageal echocardiography, which uses sound waves to create moving images of the heart. In addition to treating infants and children as outpatients in the clinic, she cares for hospitalized pediatric patients with heart disease or following cardiac surgery.

Cresalia's research interests involve using non-invasive imaging techniques — fetal imaging, transthoracic and 3-D echocardiography — to predict and improve patient outcomes. She is also interested in how to enhance education at all stages of medical training.

Cresalia earned her medical degree from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. She then completed a residency in pediatrics at St. Louis Children's Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, followed by a pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of Michigan, where she also trained in advanced noninvasive imaging.
