The most significant research topic within this research group is heart failure, encompassing both left and right-sided conditions. Despite the expansion of therapeutic options over recent decades, heart failure remains a disease with a poor prognosis. Investigations are also being conducted into therapeutic approaches to other pathologies that result in heart failure, including myocardial infarction, hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. The objective of these studies is to elucidate the role of specific signaling factors and mitochondrial quality control processes in the pathogenesis and progression of these diseases. Furthermore, new avenues for therapeutic intervention are explored. The methodological profile of these studies encompasses a range of approaches, from cell culture studies to isolated cardiac perfusion (e.g., ischemia-reperfusion, cold ischemia) and chronic animal models. Moreover, clinical trials were conducted on humans with stable coronary heart disease, systolic heart failure, and oncological diseases, with a particular emphasis on the cardiological effects of chemotherapeutics. Furthermore, the Animal Imaging Core Facility includes small animal echocardiography equipment.
