“Physiopathology of Acute coronary syndrome”
Principal investigator: Jaume Figueras Bellot.
Acute coronary syndrome patient stratification based on physiopathologic features in order to optimize their study and treatment.
“Prognostic stratification of ischemic cardiopathy patients using isotopic methods ”
Principal investigator: Jaume Candell Riera
Our goal is to develop diagnostic methodologies that may help us to characterize the functional signification of coronary lesions and their impact on myocardium.
“Valvulopathy and aortic disease”
Principal investigator: Pilar Tornos
To enhance survival and life quality in patients with valvulopathies and aortic diseases through the definition and implementation of protocols study and treatment based on the knowledge of the natural history of the diseases.
“Pericardial diseases and myocardiopathies”
Principal investigator: Jaume Sagristà.
To establish clinical protocols allowing treatment optimization based on the etiologic and physiopathologic features of the pericardic disease or in the case of hypertrophic myocardiopathies by careful evaluation of the natural history of the disease. Our thought is that classify patients into subgroups will help to apply successfully new available therapeutic choices.
“Syncope”
Principal investigator: Angel Moya
Syncope Unit has contributed specially, both in original reports as well as in cooperative studies, to establish the characteristics, applicability and limitations of procedures frequently used in the diagnosis of the syncope of unknown etiology, specially the table testing and Holter.
“Clinic epidemiology”. “Clinic epidemiology in cardiovascular diseases”
Principal investigator: Gaietà Permanyer Mirada.
Effectiveness study on cardiovascular syndromes and procedures. Life quality studies related to health, qualitative research studies, and theoretical analysis on result variability.
“Cardiovascular imaging”
Principal investigators: Arturo Evangelista and Jaume Candell
Echocardiography and other imaging techniques (new tools, myocardial characterization, use of echocontrast, MNR, CT, molecular imaging and drugs release using microblisters). Isotopic studies (3D analysis of coronariography and myocardial perfusion data, and myocardial characterization with PET).
"Aortic Disease "
Principal investigators: Arturo Evangelista and Jaume Candell
Etiopathogenesis clinical course and treatment of acute aortic syndrome and chronic diseases affecting arterial wall such as atherosclerosis, or Marfan's syndrome.
