Cardiovascular physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology; experimental models of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion and infarction. Focus on the endogenous adaptation of the heart against ischemic and reperfusion injury (e.g remote conditioning). Importance of altered microRNAs expression and signaling pathways in the development of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and adverse left ventricle remodeling. Novel approaches for optimizing cardioprotection in cardiac surgery. The pathophysiological role of Tenascin C in cardiovascular disorders.
