Specializations
Cardiovascular surgery and acute cardiac care
Clinical research activity is centered on cardiothoracic surgery and vascular surgery, with strong involvement in interventions for coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and cardiac surgery outcomes.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting
- Atrial fibrillation
- Heart failure
- Stroke prevention
Research interests also include perioperative care in valve surgery, hemodynamic management, and postoperative reduction of cardiovascular complications.
Thromboembolic disease and vascular risk reduction
The investigator is involved in studies addressing antithrombotic therapy, stroke prevention, and residual vascular risk in patients with atrial fibrillation, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and high-risk thromboembolic disorders.
- Antiplatelet therapy
- Anticoagulation
- Systemic embolism
- Major bleeding
Therapeutic interest extends to prevention of recurrent vascular events in patients with complex cardiovascular profiles.
Metabolic and inflammatory cardiometabolic disease
Clinical trial involvement includes obesity, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, reflecting a focus on cardiometabolic risk and its vascular consequences.
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Hypertriglyceridemia
- Chronic kidney disease
- Systemic inflammation
Research activity also reaches into prevention of cardiovascular complications linked to metabolic dysfunction and chronic organ injury.
Perioperative and critical care medicine
The investigator contributes to trials in major emergency abdominal surgery, intensive care, and perioperative optimization, including strategies aimed at reducing postoperative complications and improving recovery after major procedures.
- Postoperative infection prevention
- Mechanical ventilation
- Hospital length of stay
- Organ protection
Therapeutic interests include management of acute illness in surgical patients and support of safer perioperative pathways.
Inflammatory and structural heart disease
Clinical research also covers aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and pulmonary hypertension, alongside inflammatory cardiovascular conditions.
- Valvular heart disease
- Cardiomyopathy
- Cardiac remodeling
- Inflammation-driven vascular disease
These areas indicate involvement in therapies targeting structural, functional, and inflammatory mechanisms in cardiovascular disease.
