My research is focused on the analysis of structure, function, and flow patterns in the cardiovascular system. The primary goal is to detect early stages of cardiovascular disease using state of the art cardiac ultrasound technologies. Our translational research includes both experimental and clinical studies to identify minor amplitude and temporal subtleties in myocardial and vascular wall motion and blood flow for providing a window into the early manifestations of a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect the cardiovascular system.
