Research group’s activity focuses on the evaluation of cardiovascular function, hemodynamics and cardiometabolics in health and disease as well as better recognition of high-risk patient. The study group includes experienced clinical physiologists and clinicians (both junior and senior investigators).
Our goal is to improve recognition of high cardiovascular risk.
