Basic research
|
Basic research is essential to increase
our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for heart
disease, develop innovative treatments and improve
prevention. It has grown to occupy an increasingly
important place within the MHI's research activities in
the last decade.
Topics of particular interest to MHI
researchers include:
|
|
Basic and cellular electrophysiology
acting more effectively to protect heart cells and
identifying new anti-arrhythmia molecules;
Blood parts
understanding their major role in coronary disease,
restenosis and myocardial damage;
Molecular biology
studying heart disease from a genetic point of view
using cutting-edge technology;
Endothelial system
studying the role of the inner layer of the arteries
and veins in controlling the operation of the endothelial
system;
Myocardial protection
developing approaches to protect the heart against
failure during surgery, etc.
