Applied Basic Research
The research of the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory focusses
on the role of endothelium-derived mediators (i.e. nitric oxide,
reactive oxygen species, prostaglandin H2, endothelin-1 and tissue
factor) in the regulation of vascular tone, platelet-vessel wall
interaction, and coagulation as well as vascular structure under
physiological conditions and in atherosclerosis. In addition,
similar projects focus on the pathogenesis of angina in normal
coronary angiograms, stable angina and acute coronary syndrome.
Inflammation, vascular dysfunction and peptides in patients with
coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes were the
center of interest
Clinical Research
Clinical research is a translation of applied basic research and
focuses on vascular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery
disease. These studies employ ultrasound, coronary
angiography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance
imaging. In particular, the effects of pharmacological
interventions are investigated. An important aspect of his
researches has recently been focused on depression mood and
coronary artery disease.
He is a member of the Coordinating Centers of "International
Survey of Coronary Acute Syndrome of Transitional Countries".
