Dr. Cameron Dezfulian is board certified in both adult and pediatric critical care medicine, having received his MD in 1999 from Duke, combined internal medicine-pediatrics training at Michigan (1999-2003) and adult and pediatric critical care fellowships at the NIH and Johns Hopkins (2003-2008). This background provided an excellent synergy to serve as the inaugural Inpatient Director for the Texas Children’s Hospital’s Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) unit where he was recruited in Summer 2020. In May 2024, Dr. Dezfulian shifted to the role of director of ACHD program development to improve awareness of the TCH program and more globally the issues faced by ACHD patients which result in unplanned hospitalization through presentations and publications. Dr. Dezfulian presently cares for adults in the ACHD ICU and Baylor St. Luke’s medical center CTICU and children in the pediatric cardiac ICU. In the past, he has served as attending in adult and pediatric ICUs focused on cardiac, medical, surgical, neurological, trauma/burn and obstetric disease.

Prior to Baylor/TCH, Dr. Dezfulian spent a decade as a translational researcher in cardiac arrest at the University of Pittsburgh and 2 years at the University of Miami during which time he enjoyed 10 years of NIH funding and published over 100 research articles related to cardiac arrest post-resuscitation care. Dr. Dezfulian has been active within the AHA, the Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Science subcommittee and co-chaired the 2024 AHA/AAP drowning guidelines focused update and is chair of the 2025 ECC systems of care CPR guideline writing group. He is also vice-chair for the annual AHA Resuscitation Sciences Symposium program committee. Dr. Dezfulian is part of the faculty of the annual SCCM pre-conference master course on hemodynamics and monitoring and creates board review lectures on cardiovascular critical care (adult and pediatrics) for the American Physician Institute. Dr. Dezfulian has been active in the Christian Medical Dental Association for 10 years, hosting student groups from Pitt and Baylor College of Medicine and he teaches medical missionaries and provides consultation for ICUs in Africa since 2019. He serves in his church children’s ministry and Casa El Buen Samaritano, a free clinic in Missouri City, TX.
