Biography

Lynn Mahony, M.D., is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at UT Southwestern Medical Center. She is a pediatric cardiologist, caring for infants and children with congenital and acquired heart disease. She specializes in congenital heart disease, dilated aortas, Marfan syndrome, and quality of life in pediatric patients with heart disease.

Dr. Mahony earned her medical degree at the Stanford University School of Medicine. She completed a residency in pediatrics at Stanford University Hospital and received advanced training in pediatric cardiology through a fellowship at the Cardiovascular Research Institute/University of California, San Francisco.

Certified by the American Board of Pediatrics in cardiology, she joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 1985.

Dr. Mahony is Director of the Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Training Program. Since 2001, she has chaired the Pediatric Heart Network, a National Institutes of Health-funded collaborative that conducts research leading to evidence-based treatment options for pediatric patients with congenital and acquired heart disease.

Her research interests include connective tissue disorders associated with aortic dilation, such as Marfan syndrome; congestive heart failure; single ventricle patients; clinical trials; and quality of life in pediatric patients with heart disease. She has published a number of books and academic articles.

In 2018, she was included in D Magazine's Best Doctors list and was named a Super Doctor by Texas Monthly.
