Research interests
My main research focus is to improve outcome prediction using cardiovascular imaging techniques. Our lab has a strong focus on non-invasive myocardial tissue characteriztation on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) but features all state of the art imaging workup for broad range of cardiology patients.
During my fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, I focused on coronary computed tomography (CT) and abdominal CT to investigate the interplay of metabolic alterations with cardiometabolic and cardiovascular outocmes.
Currently, I undergo my training as an interventional cardiologist, where I can integrate advanced imaging modalities into patient managment and invasive treatment.
Techniques, methods & infrastructure
- State of the art echocardiogrpahy, CMR, and CT
