The study of the pathophysiology of cardiac dysfunction and the search for improved treatments are at the forefront of the research carried out at the Heart Institute.

Recently we have established The Cardiovascular Research Center that is divided into five units:

Within the Molecular Cardiac Research Facility, we focus on the genetics of cardiovascular disease, molecular pharmacology and ischemic injury. In the Physiology-Cardiac Research Facility, we concentrate on the study of physiological changes in response to cardiac insults, vascular injury and micro-environmental effects. Discovering innovative ways for preventing vascular injury and restenosis post-percutaneous coronary intervention is the focus in the Interventional Cardiology Research Facility. Major emphasis is placed in the Echocardiography Research Facility on expanding the application of echocardiography for patients with genetic diseases and for pediatric patients. Last but not least, foremost importance is given in the Clinical Cardiac Research Facility on establishing new methods for the prevention, prognosis and treatment of patients.
