DNA methylation in cardiac aging and disease and its potential interaction with Ca2+ handling pathways. KU Leuven
Cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure and atrial fibrillation are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. With age the greatest risk factor, their prevalence will substantially increase in the next decades. Factors contributing to this age-associated susceptibility to development of pathology are not established making the identification of new mechanistic targets and prognostic indicators of cardiac health urgently required. ...

Arrhythmias in heart failure KU Leuven
With the team we study rhythm disturbances and heart failure, identifying cellular and molecular pathways, in exploratory mechanistic and translational studies. The research program is embedded in collaborations with clinical cardiologists, imaging research and molecular and cellular studies within KU Leuven, supported by institutional and national funding. Translational research is also organized in an international context by multilateral ...
