Dr. Eduard Guasch is a cardiologist and a translational researcher. He completed Medical School at University of Barcelona, and Cardiology specialization at Hospital Clinic de Barcelona. He was trained in basic research with Dr. Serrano-Mollar at IIBB/CSIC, and later moved to Dr. Stanley Nattel at Montreal Heart Insitute. Since September 2012 combines clinical work as an electrophysiologist and experimental research at Hospital Clinic and IDIBAPS under the "50/50 program".
His main research interests involve the study of the mechanisms of cardiovascular deleterious remodeling after very high intensity exercise. He has published seminal insights in an animal model into the association of intense physical activtiy and the development of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias.
Moreover, he is also interested in the pathology of atrial fibrillation, and the development of novel, non-invasive tools to quantify atrial fibrosis and personalize the antiarrhythmic therapy.
