Dr. Daphne Hsu received her bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Harvard-Radcliffe College. After graduating from the Yale University School of Medicine, she received her training in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. She was a member of the faculty of Columbia University for 19 years, during which time she was the Director of Pediatric Heart Failure and Director of Clinical Research for the Division of Pediatric Cardiology. In 2007, she moved to the Children’s Hospital at Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
In addition to building the clinical services in interventional cardiology, invasive electrophysiology, advanced cardiac imaging, and adult congenital heart disease, Dr. Hsu has established a pediatric heart failure and heart transplant program that performed the first pediatric heart transplant in the Bronx in 2009.
