THE IMPACT OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES ON CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH AND DISEASE

How do they modify outcomes and influence patient care?

  • Diagnostic and Therapeutic Uses of Microbubble Cavitation

    We investigate the role of ultrasound contrast agents for cardiovascular diagnostic imaging, and how these contrast agents can be used to treat problems like catheter-related thrombosis or vasospasm. 

  • Clinical Outcomes in Cardiovascular Disease

    We investigate the relationships between treatment modifiers, phenotypic factors and clinical outcomes in congenital heart disease.

  • Artificial Intelligence Modeling and Precision Phenotyping

    We work on artificial intelligence algorithms for precision phenotyping and clinical trial design, and in the deployment and evaluation of those models in patient care settings. 

  • Clinical Applications of New Imaging Technology

    We study ways that new imaging technology can benefit patients with cardiovascular disease through precise assessment of myocardial function to provide accurate cardiac prognosis. 

  • Systems of Cardiovascular Care

    We examine the processes involved in cardiovascular care, including provider practices, diagnostic tests and treatment options, all within the context of a healthcare system.

  • Right Heart Function

    We explore methods to reveal the changes of right heart remodeling, discover imaging “biomarkers”, and to establish therapeutic targets for improving right heart function.
