RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Since 2004, as director of the Heart Failure & Vascular Risk, the principal area of interest and expertise are cardiovascular diseases in the elderly, particularly heart failure and peripheral arterial disease. We are also very interested in models of heart failure program management based on a permanent and integral follow up.

The research in the Laboratory of the Department of Medicine involves the pathophysiological role of the immune-inflammatory response in several clinical models. At this time we are focused about biological mechanisms implicated in atherosclerosis and heart failure
