Beskrivelse av forskningsprofil
Main aims:
Develop and test new technologies in cardiovascular monitoring
Cardiovascular response to new cardiovascular therapies
Myocardial function in therapeutic hypothermia and severe sepsis
This includes evaluating hemodynamic responses of
1) new cardiovascular image guided procedures,
2) ECMO strategies,
3) treatment for end stage heart failure with ventricular assist devices (VAD).
Langsiktig mål
To translate new concepts in technology and physiology into clinical practice.
