Research Interests of the Division :
- Coronary
heart disease: prevention and percutaneous revascularisation
of stable ischaemic syndromes; epidemiology and treatment of
acute coronary syndromes, and platelet resistance.
- Cardiac
pacing: new developments in pacing therapy for treatment of
heart failure and cardiac arrhythmia.
- Cardiac
arrhythmia: innovative energy sources for catheter ablation,
transvenous defibrillation and implantable device for treatment
of atrial fibrillation; patch clamp study on ionic channels
in atrial fibrillation and heart failure related arrhythmogenic
potential.
- Heart
failure: hormonal changes and animal models of heart failure;
cardiac resynchronization therapy.
- Hypertension:
left ventricular hypertrophy regression and salt balance.
Angiogenesis and cell repair: cell therapy to create new vessels
and myocardium in humans and large animals.
- Cardiac
muscle engineering: gene knock-out study on differentiation
of myocytes into cardiac myocytes.
