Bio

Dr. Christopher Davis is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and clinical professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine. He is the clinical director of cardiology and director of Rady Children's cardiopulmonary exercise laboratory.

Dr. Davis graduated from the University of Virginia School of Medicine and then completed residency training at Phoenix Children's Hospital before returning to the University of Virginia for a cardiology fellowship and additional training in exercise physiology.

His clinical interests include congenital heart disease, exercise testing and physiology of patients with heart disease, and cardiovascular care of young athletes, as well as cardiac imaging in these populations. His research interests include studying exercise physiology of patients with congenital heart disease, athlete's heart and diseases that cause sudden cardiac death in the young.
