My main research
interest is echocardiography, especially in the clinical use
and the newest technique on research imaging. I am expertised
on clinical diagnosis of various cardiovascular diseases,
such as valular diseases, systolic and diastolic heart failure,
myocardial infarction, myopathy, and etc.
My research interest
is on prevention of atrial fibrillation in sinus node disease
with different atrial pacing sites, preservation of systolic
and diastolic function on atrial-ventricular block with apical
versus septal right ventricular pacing, atrial-ventricular
optimization in heart failure pts with cardiac resynchronization
therapy, atrial and ventricular dyssynchrony before and after
exercise in coronary artery disease, etc.
