Más sobre mí

Elizabeth S. Klings, MD, is a pulmonologist, Director of the Center for Excellence in Sickle Cell Disease (the largest sickle cell center in New England), and Director of the Pulmonary Hypertension Center at Boston Medical Center. She specializes in caring for patients with chronic dyspnea, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, and pulmonary complications from sickle cell disease. She is also an associate professor of medicine at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. At BMC, she practices in the Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, in the Medical Intensive Care Unit, and on the Pulmonary Consultation Service. Dr. Klings’ research is focused on pulmonary vascular complications from sickle cell disease, using genomic and proteomic tools to explore underlying biological mechanisms, and is also studying how sleep-disordered breathing and venous thromboembolism contribute to dysfunction in these patients. She is an internationally recognized leader in treating patients with sickle cell disease and pulmonary hypertension, and in 2014 led the committee that developed new clinical guidelines for the American Thoracic Society.
