The majority of Lucy's time is spent on a study with the primary aim of investigating the causes of late left ventricular impairment in patients with Tetralogy of Fallot. She has recruited and studied 19 patients with MRI and ECG at rest and exercise so far, and her team is aiming for a total of 30 pediatric patients. She has also been working on several other projects and has managed to publish several papers.
