Research Interests:

Early hemodynamic disturbances in patients after open-heart surgery; right heart failure after orthotopic heart transplantation; effects of different vasodilators on pulmonary hemodynamics; mechanical circulatory assistance in patients with acute heart failure; oxygen delivery and consumption in patients with shock and multiple organ system failure.
