Main aims

The long term objective of our research is to translate new concepts in technology and cardiovascular physiology into clinical practice.

• Develop and test new technologies in cardiovascular monitoring
• Cardiovascular response to new cardiovascular therapies
• Myocardial function in therapeutic hypothermia and severe sepsis
• Test artificial intelligence/machine learning on continuous vital signs data

This includes testing in in-vitro and in-vivo and evaluating hemodynamic responses of

1. new cardiovascular image guided procedures,
2. ECMO strategies,
3. treatment for end stage heart failure with ventricular assist devices (VAD).Technologies under investigation for cardiac function monitoring include implantable 3D accelerometers, gyro-, magnetometer-, and miniaturized ultrasound sensors.
