Dr Narang's current research focuses on the cardiovascular consequences of childhood sleep disorders. Specifically, she is examining whether the treatment of obesity related sleep apnea is associated with a reduction in cardiovascular morbidity. This is important as the early diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea may improve long term cardiac health as children enter adulthood. Further research interests include the evaluation of the impact of opioid treatment in the control of breathing and predisposition to sleep apnea.
