Research Interests: Heart Failure, Prognosis

Our research focuses on clinically relevant prognostic factors and pathophysiologic processes in patients with heart failure concentrating on patients with advanced disease. We also perform interventional trials in patients with heart failure or at risk for developing heart failure.

Methods & Techniques

Clinical research; database analysis; international cooperation; proteomics; Metabolomics; ELISA
