Yair Sagi

Yair Sagi’s work sits at the intersection of pregnancy and cardiac risk—he co-authored echocardiography studies that examine how the heart changes in normal pregnancy and in preeclampsia, including a 2-dimensional analysis selected for an E-Poster presentation at the SGI Summit in Jerusalem (2013). At the clinic, he is a senior physician in the Department of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Ichilov (Tel Aviv Medical Center) and is responsible for women’s heart diseases during pregnancy. His research includes 2D and 3D echocardiographic studies, including left heart function during normal pregnancy and preeclampsia, and left atrial function during pregnancy. He also has experience teaching medical and nursing students, including an academic role at Columbia University (2013) and instruction at Ben-Gurion University Faculty of Health Sciences (2013).
