Current research in this field is focused on shockwave therapy and on the role of inflammation and innaty immunity in myocardial infarction.
The main aim of our research in this field is to regenerate infarcted myocardium, respectively the hibernating myocardium. We use LAD ligation models – chronic, acute and ischemia/ reperfusion – in different species. Besides regeneration we work on the induction of angiogenesis as well as vasculogenesis.
